Coach Hiring and Training Camp
It was the time of the year to go assistant coach hunting for the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets. The Team owner gave GM, Igor Skrnjug, 2.10Mil to go out and hire up to 5 staff members.
Igor's first stop was to Los Angeles, California, where he found the unemployed former Clippers scout, Chuck Phills. Igor offered Chuck Phills a 1 year, $250,000 contract and of course he accepted. Chuck Phills specialises in Athletics scouting.
Then, Igor headed North to Vancouver and found a former Hockey Trainer, who had been rumoured to be retired, he was actually looking for a job and couldn't refuse the 3 year, $129,000 contract offer.
Igor had found himself a Scout and Trainer, now it was time to find some Assistant Coaches.
Alvin Elwell had been with the club since it started back at the start of the 90's. GM Igor Skrnjug decided to offer him a 3 year, $741,000 contract which the 41 year old couldn't refuse. Alvin Elwell specialises in training Big Men, just look at Magloire, Alonzo Mourning, PJ Brown, just to name a few.
Igor Skrnjug decided to travel to Atlanta, Georgia and ended up meeting up with Chris Mills and his brother Shaka Mills. Shaka Mills was an assitant Coach who specialized in defensive skills. Of Course Mills was offererd a 2 year, $587,000 contract which he accepted gracefully.
The Hornets had only $394,000 left in the budget so they decided to sign another assistant coach by the name of Anan Turner. Anan Turner is a specialist on the offensive end and he accepted the 1 year contract.
The team owner praised Igor Skrnjug's work and was glad he found a full staff.
