    There aren’t plenty of Charlotte Hornets rumors running around as they are still struggling to get out of the bottom of the league standings. Despite having a talented point guard in LaMelo Ball on their payroll, the team is still struggling to string together wins as they don’t have a bona fide scorer who can take over.

    While they occasionally show off their ability on the hardwood, it’s quite clear that something has to change before the Hornets become able to compete in the playoffs. The quickest thing franchises can change to improve their odds is hiring a coach that can maximize the talents of the roster.

    The Charlotte Hornets are currently targeting multiple names to become their head coach, but one surprising name is being linked with the position. If they go ahead with this candidate, they might become the first NBA franchise in history to hire a female head coach.

    Charlotte Hornets to interview Lindsey Harding for head coach opening

    Basketball Forever’s Nick Jungfer reported that the team is approaching Sacramento Kings G League coach Lindsey Harding as the possible person who can take over for Steve Clifford, who is set to move to the front office next season.

    While eyebrows may raise on Harding’s potential hire, the Hornets aren’t interviewing her for the sake of publicity:

    On Monday news broke that Lindsey Harding, the Sacramento Kings’ G League coach, was expected to interview for the Charlotte Hornets head coaching job. If successful, Harding would become the NBA’s first-ever female head coach.

    At just 39 years old, Harding has already made quite an impact as a coach. In her first season coaching the Sacramento’s G League affiliate, the Stockton Kings, Harding was voted the 2024 G League Coach of the Year.

    Jungfer also reported Harding’s rivals for the position:

    Charlotte has also received permission to interview Denver Nuggets assistant David Adelman, Sacramento Kings assistant Jordi Fernandez, Boston Celtics assistant Charles Lee and Phoenix Suns assistant Kevin Young, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.

    It will be tough for Harding to get over the gender barrier as there haven’t been any female head coaches in more than the 75 years the league has been around. However, the former top pick of the 2007 WNBA Draft has done her work, starting her career as a development coach with the Kings and Philadelphia 76ers.

    It will be an interesting time for the Charlotte Hornets if they find Harding to be the most suitable candidate for the position. Fans can also expect the young coach to do everything in her power to stay in the league for as long as possible.
