James Borrego has agreed to become New Orleans’ associate head coach. Borrego spent four seasons as Charlotte’s head coach, including back-to-back play-in berths. The Pelicans are eager to incorporate his offensive philosophy.
New Orleans was able to retain assistant Jarron Collins, who was a finalist for the Pistons HC job, and now land Borrego as associate HC. Borrego chose the Pelicans over several opportunities elsewhere to be the top assistant.
