Avery Johnson may have cost himself a chance to become the next head coach of the Hornets.
It was reported on Friday morning that Johnson is looking for a dual role in New Orleans, with responsibilities as coach and in the front office.
"If Avery Johnson ever had a shot at Hornets coaching job, he's destroying it with leaks about desire for total control of basketball ops," Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports writes on his Twitter page.
