Two reliable sources telling me that two-time D-League coach of the year Bryan Gates will be added to Kings coach Paul Westphal's staff.

I guess its good news. Best Coach from the DLeague.

If you cant beat NBDL players....hire a coach from the league??? LOL

Yeah, that was one of the other names mentioend earlier, and it seemd like a solid idea at the time. Actually pretty much Westphal's entire staf seems to have been in place for months now while he waited for confirmation from us. Only Porter backed out from what would have beena strong crew.

I like this. In fact, I'm pretty much liking everything that's going on right now as far as the Kings are concerned.

I'm loving all of the new coaches. Seems like people who actually know what they are doing.

Don't know the guy but I'm assuming hes probably being brought on for his skill at developing youth. I like it.

We had a thread about him a while back...

What I'm thinking. Good move.


All we need now is Webber or Vlade as a bigman coach and we're set

I really like our new Coaching Staff.

I like our new assistants better than our last couple of head coaches.

lol yeah its odd I would take at least 2 maybe 3 of our new assistants over any of our last 3 coaches.

From IdahoStatesman.com:

"[Gates is] going to be largely dealing with shooting,'' Westphal said. "We've got a strong emphasis on that area, to get everyone to improve their shooting percentage, working with coach Carril, who's got a passion for that.''
