Charlotte Hornets owner Rick Schnall said he expects the city’s NBA franchise to announce the hiring of a head coach within the next seven days.
“We’re close,” Schnall told The Charlotte Observer on Wednesday afternoon. “We’re close. You’ll see us announce it certainly in the next week.”
Schnall, who owns a majority stake of the team with business partner Gabe Plotkin, said this in the middle of his round during the pro-am prior to the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte. When asked if he could give an indication on who that next coach could be, he chuckled.
