The New Orleans Hornets have remained in-house in their search for an assistant coach. The team announced today that they have promoted Rob Werdann to the position of assistant coach. Werdann has spent the last five seasons as an advance scout for the Hornets.‬‪

A former center himself, Werdann will coach frontline players for the Hornets next season.

Werdann has coached in the NBA D-League, spending three seasons as an assistant coach for the Columbus Riverdragons. He began his coaching career as an assistant for the Yakima Sun Kings of the CBA, spending the 2000-01 in Yakima.

"I am thrilled for this opportunity," Werdann said. "I have had the fortune to work for the Hornets as a scout for the past few years and can not wait to join Coach Scott and the staff."

Werdann was the 46th overall choice of the Denver Nuggets in the 1992 NBA Draft out of St. John's University. The 6'11" center played in three NBA seasons with the Nuggets and New Jersey Nets.‬
