Byron Scott is looking to add an assistant coach to replace the recently departed Jim Cleamons, who left the team to accept a position with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Scott said he has one specific coach in mind, but declined to say who it is. Scott did say the Hornets have been given permission by the coach?s team to contact him regarding a position on the Hornets? staff and that the two parties are currently talking.

?I?m going to either bring in this one guy, and if I can?t, I?m going to stick with what we have,? Scott said.
