Avery Johnson Wanting Front Office Gig?
If Avery Johnson is to have a role with his hometown’s NBA franchise, it might not solely be on the bench.
A source close to Johnson said the New Orleans native wants a dual position with the New Orleans Hornets, as the team’s head coach and vice president of basketball operations.
The source said Johnson would join the Hornets only if minority owner Gary Chouest buys George Shinn’s 75 percent share of the team. Johnson is thought to be Chouest’s top choice to lead the franchise, and team officials said last month they’d be open to hiring someone to oversee basketball operations.
