Pelicans Fire Willie Green After Dismal Start; James Borrego Named Interim Coach
The New Orleans Pelicans have officially parted ways with head coach Willie Green following a disappointing 2-10 start to the season, marking his dismissal just 12 games into his fifth year at the helm. In light of these challenges, the franchise has appointed James Borrego as the interim head coach. This decision comes amid growing frustrations as the Pelicans attempt to navigate a rough patch that has left them struggling in the league. Despite hopes that a coaching change could alter their trajectory, analysts suggest that deeper issues may persist within the organization.
