SacBee: Ailene Voisin: It's act II for Kings' coach

[Revrag]

Reggie Theus is one of the fortunate ones. He still has a job. He also has health insurance, a nice car and a nicer car, and homes in Northern and Southern California. If not the perfect life, the Kings' head coach certainly enjoys a comfortable existence.

Coach Reggie Theus begins his second season with a task of advancing the Kings' agenda. "I've gotten a better understanding of what Geoff (Petrie) envisions," he said.​

Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie's most recent personnel moves suggest a clear sense of direction. It is up to second-year coach Reggie Theus, right, to implement them.​

Compared to Marty's blatherings today, this column is journalistic gold.

In all seriousness, I think Voisin has an excellent read on the situation. Theus needs to pay close attention to whatever Petrie says - especially when he's not talking about hens or the moon. It's widely rumored that the Maloofs were NOT particularly happy with some of
Theus' antics last season. If he doesn't play the kids, quit micro-managing the offense, etc. he's going to find himself on the outside looking in.

Come on, Reggie. I know you can do it. Take a page from TEAM USA's playbook and park your ego at the door. Get the job done... help yourself be a cornerstone of the future with our young guns.

If it ain't fun, it ain't Kings basketball!!!!
