JJ Redick Interviewing for Charlotte Hornets Head Coaching Job

Former Duke basketball superstar JJ Redick is making waves once again, this time off the court. The once-hated college player turned NBA veteran has now set his sights on a new challenge – coaching.

After a successful 15-year career in the NBA, Redick transitioned seamlessly into the world of sports media, becoming a prominent figure on ESPN’s NBA coverage and hosting popular podcasts. But it seems that coaching has always been on his radar, as he now finds himself in the running for the head coaching job with the Charlotte Hornets.

At 39 years old, Redick may not have much coaching experience under his belt, aside from coaching his son’s AAU team. However, his passion for the game and his basketball IQ are undeniable, making him a compelling candidate for the position.

If Redick were to land the job, he would have the opportunity to lead a team that includes fellow Duke alumni Mark Williams, Seth Curry, and Marques Bolden. The potential for a strong Duke presence on the Hornets roster could be an exciting prospect for both fans and players alike.

As the interview process unfolds, the basketball world eagerly awaits to see if Redick will make the transition from player to coach. Could we soon see another Blue Devil head coach in the NBA? Only time will tell.
