After rumblings that Chicago Bulls associate head coach Jim Boylen may garner interest in head coaching searches this spring and summer, Chicago Tribune reporter K.C. Johnson cited sources today that say the team has granted Boylen permission to interview with the Charlotte Hornets.
The franchise canned head coach Steve Clifford after five years at the helm ending with a 36-46 season that saw Charlotte miss the playoffs for the second straight season. The Hornets have also contacted former Miami Heat assistant and Memphis Grizzlies head coach David Fizdale, former NBA player Jerry Stackhouse, and San Antonio Spurs assistant Ime Udoka among a few others for the position.
