CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) People familiar with the situation say the Hornets are narrowing their head coaching search after interviewing several candidates.
The people say the list of coaches who have interviewed include Celtics assistant Jay Larranaga, Raptors assistant Nick Nurse, Spurs assistants James Borrego, Ettore Messina, Ime Udoka and Blazers assistant David Vanterpol. Former Grizzlies coach David Fizdale also interviewed but has since been hired by the Knicks.
The people spoke to The Associated Press Friday on condition of anonymity because the Hornets haven’t discussed the coaching search.
Larranaga, Nurse and Borrego may be the most experienced candidates, but with Fizdale out, the search remains fluid.
The Hornets fired Steve Clifford in April after five seasons as head coach.
