JJ Redick As NBA Head Coach Gaining Serious Traction

Former NBA star JJ Redick may be taking his talents back to the hardwood as an NBA head coach. He recently interviewed for the Charlotte Hornets vacancy, seen as a “serious candidate” to land the position.

While Redick has no prior experience on a coaching staff, he’s gone viral through his retirement for his knowledge of the game. He’s a basketball guru that knows the ins and out of the league, carrying a players perspective.

The Hornets need all the help they can get as they finished near the bottom of the Eastern Conference in 2024. If Redick and Charlotte don’t see eye-to-eye, he may be in contention for another role elsewhere.

NBA insider Shams Charania gave some insight into the situation, sharing that this isn’t just a publicity stunt. Teams across the league are interested in interviewing Redick and learning his vision for an organization looking to improve next season.
