Mark Price, one of the best shooters in NBA history, has been an assistant coach for the Hornets for the past two year. With the way in which teams jack up threes these days, he’s a good guy to have in your corner. But he won’t be there for long as Price has agreed to become the next head coach of at UNC Charlotte. He had been working tirelessly with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist on his shooting form, so this will be a blow.
Charlotte Hornets assistant coach Mark Price agreed to terms overnight Tuesday to become head coach of the Charlotte 49ers’ men’s basketball program, an informed source told the Observer.
Price, 51, will replace Alan Major, who left the position about two weeks ago. Price has been an assistant with the Hornets the past two seasons. His most high-profile accomplishment in that span was improving the highly flawed jump shot of small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
