A ten win improvement in each of the last two years was not good enough for James Borrego to keep his job as the head coach of the Charlotte Hornets. Last week, Hornets GM Mitch Kupchak released a statement that noted the franchise had relieved Borrego of his duties after four years.
In my opinion, I think this was more of a reaction to how the team performed in the play-in game in each of the last two seasons than anything else. Nonetheless, the Hornets have decided to move on and look in a different direction to take this team from one of the most exciting, young teams the NBA has to offer to a team that is considered a legitimate contender in the Eastern Conference.
