Hornets Hire Mitch Kupchak As New General Manager

nba.com

The Hornets have hired Mitch Kupchak, 63, a former University of North Carolina star and Los Angeles Lakers executive, to be the team’s new general manager.

Kupchak was an all-American at North Carolina in the 1970s. He has more than three decades of front office experience, including 17 years as the GM for the Lakers before he was fired last year.  

Marshall came to WFAE after graduating from Appalachian State University, where he worked at the campus radio station and earned a degree in communication. Outside of radio, he loves listening to music and going to see bands - preferably in small, dingy clubs.
