The Washington Wizards’ next head coach could be somebody who is younger than some of their players.
Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports reported this week that Charlotte Hornets assistant Ronald Nored recently had a second interview with the Wizards for their head coaching vacancy. Nored, who is only 31 years old, previously was reported as close to joining Rick Carlisle’s staff in Indiana. Haynes’ report seems to indicate that Nored could now be gaining traction for the Wizards job.
Nored has been an assistant for the Hornets since 2018. He also previously worked in player development for the Boston Celtics as well as served as the head coach of the Long Island Nets, Brooklyn’s G League team.
