Welcome Paul Westphal
- Thread starter GeraldWallace#3
- Start date
Who was your choice? There weren't many illusions about what GP was looking for- experience, success, track record, long NBA history, teaching credentials. Check, check, check, check, check. The delay could have been caused just as much by Petrie being in Europe and the Maloofs being on the go as well and the need to do background checks as it could have been tied to any pining for Rambis.
To return to the thread- WELCOME PAUL. Best of luck, and may all of these errant conversations be for moot once the Kings return to prominence.

Welcome Paul Westphal.
Can't complain for this hire considering the $ situation and the choices.
Besides, Westphal is a lakers beater.
Back in 1993 with his team down 0-2 to the lakers in a best of 5 series, Westphal's quote
“The next game is over there Tuesday. We’re going to win that,” Westphal said. “Then the next one is Thursday. We’ll win there, too. Then we’re going to come home next Sunday and win that one, and everyone will say what a great series it was.”
He kept his word in winning 3 straight. I know that Suns team was a #1 seed that went to the finals. But its good to have a coach that beat the lakers before.

Welcome Coach! I wish you the best of luck as the Sacramento Kings new head coach!
Porter and Ellie sound like great assistants. Plus there is Coachie and Reef. And I would like to see Westphal bring in an older grey head who has been around the block in the NBA a thousand times
