Sergio Scariolo, Spanish NT Head Coach likely to join the Hornets as an assistant coach

[No-Man]

His son is gonna go to college or HS/prep in the Charlotte area, and he apparently has an offer to join Borrego's staff, NBA is his first option, so if the money is right, he is bound to be a highly regarded assistant among the new coaching staff

No surprising since Sergio has had links with the Spurs and OKC (he is close with Scottie Brooks) and those are related to each other and we all know where Borrego comes from.

He sounds like a great hire. If it goes through the Hornets will have both the Canadian and Spanish national team head coaches on their staff.

We are...SPURS EAST!

The website Encestando.es announced this afternoon that Sergio Scariolo will stop being a Spanish coach to accept one of the many proposals he has on the table. For some time now, we have been talking about offers from multiple European teams, but it seems that the most viable option would be the possibility of serving as assistant coach in the NBA, with Willy Hernángomez's Charlotte Hornets being his most likely destination. This information is the same as it has come from our own sources.

Sergio Scariolo does not stop being the coach of the Spanish men's basketball team. Or, at least, not for now. The president of the FEB, Jorge Garbajosa, has been in charge of silencing on Thursday the rumors that placed the Italian coach in the NBA bench (helper of the Charlotte Hornets) or those of his native Italy. The surprise to be questioned about it by the media after the first conference of the Inspiration Women forum ("first news") was accompanied, in his message, of "absolute tranquility".

"With Sergio, if I do not speak every day I speak almost all of them, the last time, yesterday afternoon (on Wednesday), and the conversation always goes on preparing the Windows: players, technical bodies, place of concentration, days of concentration ... Both July and September, "acknowledged Garbajosa.

The former player and leader took the opportunity to clarify that Scariolo "is also the coordinator of the lower categories" and that "he is totally identified with the philosophy and working method of the Federation". Although he also admitted that he is not surprised that the coach of Brescia is part of the rumor mill inherent in the signings for next season.

"When you have the pride and honor of having an absolutely top pick in Europe and in the world, like Sergio Scariolo, I understand that offers come in. And also that every time a team has a bad season or a setback, Sergio will be talked about as a relay, everyone would surely want to have it, but that privilege is ours today, "stressed the leader of the FEB, whose future is linked one hundred percent with that of the head coach. Spain.

Apparently the Raptors are also interested in offering Scariolo a job, that might be why he hasn't accepted the offer yet.
