Former Villanova head coach Kyle Neptune has agreed to a deal to become an assistant coach with the Charlotte Hornets under Charles Lee.
The Charlotte Hornets have hired a new assistant coach ahead of the 2025-26 NBA season.
According to Shams Charania of ESPN, former Villanova head coach Kyle Neptune has agreed to a deal to join the Hornets’ coaching staff under Charles Lee.
Neptune began his coaching career in 2010 after a one-year professional playing career in Lithuania and Puerto Rico.
He served as an assistant coach at Villanova for eight seasons before getting an opportunity to lead Fordham University. He later returned to Villanova, where he spent the last three seasons as head coach.
Neptune was fired by Villanova last season after a disappointing three-year tenure with a 31-27 record, during which the Wildcats failed to advance past the second round of the Big East Tournament or qualify for the NCAA Tournament.
