Adelman in "Hot Seat"

[FONT=Arial,Hevetica,sans-serif]It places all the coaches into Hot Seat, Warm Seat, Tepid Seat, Cold Seat re: likelihood of firing.... Here is the part about RA....just more baiting by ESPN....(we seem to do better when they are only speaking poorly of the team, so bring it....)[/FONT]

Rick Adelman, Sacramento
The coach of the Kings has been on the hot seat all season because of his lame-duck status, but the Maloof brothers have stuck with him out of respect for what he has done for the franchise the past six years. Will Adelman be back next season? It's probably 50-50 right now. "He becomes a free agent at the end of the year, and if he isn't coaching here, there are a lot of other teams that would like to have him," owner Joe Maloof told ESPN.com on Thursday. "We'd love to have him back, but we're not going to make that determination until after we see how we do in the playoffs." There's also the question of whether Adelman will want to return or will feel the same way Nate McMillan did a year ago when he left Seattle after finishing his contract.
