Shockwaves in New Orleans: Pelicans' Sudden Coaching Change Sparks Speculation—What’s Next for Willie Green and James Borrego?

In an interview on Friday, Pelicans owner/governor Gayle Benson was asked about the job security of coach Willie Green and said, “I hired Joe Dumars to assess our basketball operation. And that’s what he is doing. He is assessing Willie and all the players.” Well, Dumars watched the Pelicans fall to 2-10 on the season Friday night, losing to the Lakers, and decided it was time to move on.
