New Orleans Pelicans hire Jamahl Mosley as coach, AP source says
A person familiar with the situation says the New Orleans Pelicans have hired Jamahl Mosley as their next coach, ending interim coach James Borrego’s candidacy to retain his job on a permanent basis.
Mosley spent the past five seasons with Orlando, which fired him this month after the Magic's seven-game, first-round playoff loss to the Detroit Pistons.
Mosley went 189-221 with Orlando.
His teams qualified for the NBA playoffs in each of the past three seasons and won the Southeast Division twice, but were eliminated in the first round each time.
Borrego went 24-46 as Pelicans interim coach.
