Good news for Hornets fans, I think.

Chouest (former minority partner) has always been committed to keeping the team in NO, and it sounds as though he may be more willing to loosen the purse strings than Shinn was.

The person chosen for the vacant head coach position may indicate what sort of new ownership the Hornets have. I'd hope the team might regain some relevance in the league, for Chris Paul's sake.
