The Charlotte Hornets had Ettore Messina in their sights as soon as they relieved Steve Clifford from the head coach position and got the permission to interview him. With San Antonio Spurs trailing 3-0 in the series against Golden State Warriors, the Hornets plan to interview coach Messina as soon as next week if the Spurs get eliminated by then, according to The Charlotte Observer.
In the absence of Greg Popovich whose return is uncertain, Messina coached the team in Game 3 loss against Warriors and might have the chance to do so on Sunday too in the next game of the series.
