Pelicans Edge Closer to Naming New Head Coach as Mosley Leads Contenders
New Orleans is nearing the hire of a new head coach, with Jamahl Mosley emerging as the leading candidate after the season-ending search; other reported frontrunners included Rajon Rondo, Steve Hetzel, Darvin Ham and James Borrego, who served as interim coach after Willie Green's dismissal. Mosley's contract status with Orlando could influence timing, but Pelicans officials had indicated a decision could come early this week.
