Tyrone Corbin is now the head coach of the Sacramento Kings

****ing weird. How you going to fire a coach for under performing when his best player has been injured for most of the losses. Before Cousins went out it seemed like they may have had a chance for the playoffs.

Wonder if the owner is just butt-hurt that Stauskus isn't getting any minutes and sucking when they filmed a video where the owner clearly lobbied for him.

This.. epicly weird, imo.

Makes no sense.

This may explain some of it..

Style of play factor in Malone's firing, too. Malone's job was in jeopardy over summer, but quick start spared him -- until Cousins illness.

The King's owner is also on record about wanting to experiment with only playing 4 guys on defense and having the fifth guy sit back on offense and cherry pick.....

This may explain some of it..

Interesting... so what type of system do they think Corbin will institute? Throw it to Cousins and let him work in the post?

Maybe he was just trying to do too much in Sacramento. hehe

Corbin is willing to play more of the offensive style that management wanted - aka faster - and will be given a chance to make it happen.

That video was amazing. It was essentially the owner controlling everything while everybody else served as yes-men.

Terrible logic.

We wanted him fired right away, but he did really well.. so we took the 1st opportunity to fire him when the best player was sick.

Yeah..

More likely: Cousins hated him and faked sickness as an ultimatum.

No respectable coach is going to sign w/ the Kings mid-season like this.

According to twitter, Cousins was a Mike Malone supporter.
