Bristow Promoted To General Manager
New Orleans – The New Orleans Hornets announced that
Allan Bristow has been promoted from assistant general
manager to general manager. Bristow will assume the
position left by the impending retirement of Executive
Vice President of Basketball Operations/General Manager
Bob Bass.
"I'm thrilled about the opportunity that (Hornets Owner)
George Shinn has given me to be able to help the Hornets
organization reach their goal of putting the best team
possible on the floor every night," said Bristow. "I look
forward to working with Coach (Byron) Scott and Mr. Shinn
and I know that together we'll do everything possible to
make that happen."
Bristow will handle the team's day-to-day basketball
operations and oversee player personnel decisions, the
coordination of the schedules for the entire college
scouting staff and the compilation of data in preparation
for the NBA Draft.
"I have worked with Allan for seven NBA seasons and I'm
very familiar with the basketball expertise that he
possesses," said Shinn. "He has served in many different
capacities in our league from coach to general manager
and I'm proud to say that we're promoting not just a sharp
basketball mind, but a quality person as well."
Bristow spent six years with the Hornets (1990-1996),
including five as head coach and one as vice president of
basketball operations, before re-joining the organization
as assistant general manager prior to the 2003-04 season.
He finished his tenure as Hornets head coach with a 207-203
(.505) record. At the time, his 207 victories represented
the most by any coach in franchise history, a mark that
would stand until 2003 (he now ranks second all-time). His
410 games coached still stands as a team record. He led the
team to the playoffs twice in his five seasons as head coach,
finished with a .500 or better record four times and produced
two 50-win seasons.
Before his appointment as head coach, Bristow spent the
1990-91 season (and two NBA Drafts) as the Hornets' vice
president of basketball operations. While in that role, he
showed his keen eye for talent in the free-agent signing of
Johnny Newman and the drafting of Kendall Gill and Larry
Johnson. Bristow remained a major influence in the Hornets'
subsequent drafts, during which they acquired players such as
Alonzo Mourning and Scott Burrell.
After leaving the Hornet sidelines in 1996, Bristow joined the
Denver Nuggets as vice president of basketball operations from
1997-1998.
Before joining the Hornets in 1990, Bristow spent six seasons
as an assistant coach with the Denver Nuggets under Head Coach
Doug Moe. He was also an assistant coach at San Antonio under
then-head coach Bass during the 1983-84 season before moving
to Denver in 1984.
