Kings Relieve Paul Westphal of Coaching Duties

[Mel_13]

The Sacramento Kings today relieved Paul Westphal of his head coaching duties, according to President of Basketball Operations Geoff Petrie. Current Kings’ assistant coach Keith Smart will serve as head coach in tonight’s game versus the Milwaukee Bucks.

“I want to thank Paul for all of his effort on behalf of the Kings,” said Petrie. “Unfortunately, the overall performance level of the team has not approached what we felt was reasonable to expect. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

In two-plus seasons as head coach of the Kings, Westphal amassed a record of 51-120.

Well, no matter how bad they are, their new coach will always be Smart.

It's really just another case of a white man not being given a chance.

And WTF Kori with the constant time issues. Sometimes, it's an hour later and sometimes it's current. How can I possibly post in this kind of environment???????

Not totally unexpected. And its not just the Cousin's situation.. He lost the ears of a lot of the players on that team and the fanbase hated the guy. Seemed more logical to see him fired than to give up on Cousins. Although Cousins might be next to go because hes proven to be a significant problem thus far.

Westphal was a shit coach in Phoenix and was a shit coach in Sacramento. Good move.

No shit. Everyone was like facepalming all over the place. But keep trying.

David thorpe called it on one of his ESPN chats this week said Paul would go before they let a talent like Cousins walk ...

[JoeTait75]

Keith Smart is America's Interim Coach.

[baseline bum]

Cousins is just acting like a bitch to piss Sac fans off so they don't vote to pay for a new arena, thereby forcing the team into the LA Junior market.

Westphal was a shit coach in Phoenix and was a shit coach in Sacramento. Good move.

Real Talk. He also had only one good year at Pepperdine Univ. (1st year). It was all downhill from there.

[silverblk mystix]

Westphall will coach again...he is actually a good coach...

when he resurfaces and begins to post a respectable record...everyone here will look stupid.

Cousins is a retarded fuck and he will bring down that franchise-and they deserve it.
