Charlotte Hornets Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Jeff Peterson felt like he made the right decision to hire Charles Lee as head coach when talking to ownership.

(via Charlotte Hornets):

“It was a talented group, some of the other candidates. I got to the point, and I told Gabe [Plotkin] and Rick [Schnall] like, ‘I’m sitting here trying to figure out why we shouldn’t hire him.’ And I felt pretty good about that in terms of just checking my work and figuring out why we wouldn’t go that route. So I think just being able to be privileged in terms of talking to members of the Celtics organization, members of the Milwaukee Bucks organization, and of course, my experience with him in Atlanta, just kinda crystallized everything. I’m very confident that he’s the right person and coach to lead us going forward.”
