Following yet another disastrous end to a season with a 103-132 loss to Atlanta in the Play-In tournament, Adrian Wojnarowski reported the firing of Charlotte head coach James Borrego. It’s now been a week since the firing and as more information has been revealed I’ve had time to process the firing of Borrego.
James Borrego’s firing was certainly shocking. Not because I thought he was the greatest coach in the world but because in a normal year, Charlotte wouldn’t have fired a recently extended coach that just increased their win total by 10 games. This tells me that there’s a shift in expectations and there’s now a standard that Charlotte ownership wants this team to reach.
