Former Villanova head coach Kyle Neptune has agreed to a deal to become an assistant coach with the Charlotte Hornets under Charles Lee
August 29, 2025
Honestly curious to see how this moves the needle for us. Thoughts?

To replace jent I suppose? Was there ever an official announcement other than Shams saying he was finalizing a deal with nyk?
no wtf, this dude was absolute garbage at Villanova, their fans were celebrating when he got fired
What the fuck is this
He was one of the singular worst college coaches in the entire high major level the past couple years. Villanova fans absolutely despise him. Why are we doing this again?
Welcome and does anyone know if he’s a decent coach?
To all you naysayers, being a head coach is an entirely different skill set from being an assistant. Being a head coach is less about coaching and more about politics/administration/recruiting and FINALLY coaching once all the rest is done. Dude probably knows hoops / development, but sucked at the operations part of being a HC.
Sincerely,
A good assistant coach and horrible head coach
Wasn’t he awful at Villanova?
he was pretty abjectly awful at Villanova, but… I mean… I guess it’s not strictly *that* bad? I’m not really certain what impact Kyle Neptune would even have, necessarily
Ugh, weird to go out of your way to hire one of the worst HCs in Nova’s history
massive downgrade but oh well maybe he learned his lesson from villanova
