    New Orleans Hornets: The New Orleans Hornets' chief marketing officer has become the second executive to resign his position, officials said Friday.


    Team president Paul Mott confirmed the departure of Tim McDougall, who was hired by the team to increase ticket sales. Mott didn't say why McDougall, who was with the team for 6 1/2 months, was leaving.


    McDougall couldn't be reached for comment.


    Last Saturday, Allan Bristow resigned as general manager, citing health concerns.


    Mott said the team's relocation from New Orleans to Oklahoma City because of Hurricane Katrina has been difficult for some of the team's employees.


    "During this time of great change and uncertainty, there have been a number of people who have not opted to come to Oklahoma City," Mott said. "Some who couldn't bring themselves to leave Louisiana in a time of great need. Others had family and things that made the decision to come to Oklahoma City very hard."

    does anybody know why he resigned? Did he get a better offer somewhere else? I hope everything will be ok for him.

    There are conflicting reports in that thread, one making it out to be the Hornets fault, and one making it out to be Tim's fault...Guess we'll never know unless he posts here again...

    Best wishes to our beloved Timmy.

    Well wishing him to come back here is great but it will kinda be a bit selfish of us (which may not necessarily be a bad thing) since he may likely not get a position as high as the CMO. My wish is that he gets a parallel or better offer (even from the Rockets), or whatever his heart desire is.

    When he is happy, I believe most, if not all, of us here will definitely be as well.

    Best wishes again Tim.

    The lesson learnt is that if you want to fire your top sales person, you'd better fire his 'clique (tm)' altogether at the sametime. Otherwise, you are just firing yourself. ;)
