I’m pretty sure he said that was the reasoning a couple seasons ago when he started to take over for Jerry on air. I could be wrong but I seem to remember hearing that during a game one time.
Coach Christie! It’s actually happening!

They need matt barnes in the booth. If nothing else, he may dog the kings into playing some defense and start a fight with the other teams commentators. One way or the other it will be fun to tune in.
As for DC on staff, all these jokers better start taking notes, hell Hali is built exactly like him... Hell he even looks like him (pretty sure he is secret DC love child). If he listens well, he could be the next DC,with a much better offensive game. Love the move.

Well Doug loses his temper and swings on Walton it won't be the first Laker he had to deck.

I’m stoked! I’m hoping Luke will learn from him how to really coach or maybe even better Luke just step aside and watch

How about Mo? Shes a real one too.
It's only a matter of time before DC snuffs out Walton for the HC position.

If Fox doesn't listen, DC can always use upercut.

does that mean he takes over Gentrys spot?

DC will be an awesome mentor for Hali. Literally, DC is what I want Hali to eventually become as a player, plus a little more offense.
DC can help Hali develop his game and body to eventually become the SG/SF wing that Doug was for the Kings! I can’t wait to see what DC does for the Kings and their defense!
One thing is for sure, DC will make sure these players know what great fans Sacramento has and how they should take pride in representing the city!

Oh, and if he applies the things he was talking about during color last year then this teams defense has a chance to improve drastically. They have a good deal of good on ball defenders and had more than a few last year. Now hopefully we get to see it! I'm stoked about this hiring.

where I think Doug may struggle is he believes people can learn sports IQ. I think he may struggle with players like Buddy that don’t see and process at the rate he does. I am also not convinced given his broadcasting career to what extent he will do his homework. At times on the radio he seemed unprepared.

I mean, Vlade said the same thing...

its a big difference between coaching aka playing basketball then running the business side of basketball. Vlade prolly would have easily done better as some kind of a coach then a GM

better then being a GM lol

He was probably speaking as an ex-Laker at the time.

And I’m pretty sure Vlade meant it. He just sucked at a job he was never qualified for in the first place.
IDK how good a coach DC will be, but I’m pretty sure he‘s infinitely more qualified to teach how to play the game than Vlade was to masquerade as a GM.
I’ll bet DC has more success too.
I’ve been out of town most of the summer, so I was shocked when I heard recently that DC was going to be an assistant coach.
I’m really gonna miss him in the booth. I know he was kinda goofy at times, but he also showed he has great knowledge of the game. Also Doug is tough. I remember his on the court fight with Rick Fox of the Lakers back in the day. Doug would not back down - a tough dude. The King’s need to establish that in their “DNA” or something. But Doug is also very respectful and serious about the game.
I agree with Tetsujan, he could be Walton’s replacement someday.
I also wonder if there might be some friction between him and KHTK and the TV folks after Grant left/was fired? I have no reason for saying this, and am not trying to create a rumor, but I think when Grant left a lot of things changed. Maybe Doug didn’t mesh all that well with Mark Jones? Any thoughts?
I tried to find a Grant’s Rant on the subject of DC leaving broadcasting, but haven’t found one yet.
When you think of it, DC and Grant’s career have sure taken vastly different directions.
