Kings Hire Kenny Natt, Assistant Coach

by Tom Ziller on Jul 7, 2007 1:07 PM PDT in News

Reggie Theus has his second assistant coach, according to Brian Windhorst of the Akron Beacon Journal:

Natt, whose contract with the Cavs had expired, accepted an assistant coaching position with the Sacramento Kings under new head coach Reggie Theus. Natt primarily worked with the Cavs' big men, among other duties. The Cavs are expected to look for an experienced assistant to replace Natt, who was one of coach Mike Brown's top two assistants.

Here's the official press release, which notes Natt played with Reggie for the 84-85 Kansas City Kings.

I expect Natt will coach the Kings summer league team, while it's been stated Theus will run the practices. Jason Hamm -- who was a video coordinator under Mike Fratello two years ago and an assistant under Eric Musselman last year -- is also down with the team.

Re: Kings Hire Kenny Natt, Assistant Coach

Just an opinion of one noted jackass. I think Natt is an excellent hire. If the Kings got, by some miracle, Lee it would be great to have him work with Hawes, Williams and Lee every day. If the Kings got Carril it would be terrific to have him work with Shakur,Martin,Garcia and Douby every day. Coaching, and the teaching, is such a critical every day part of the NBA development of young talent. If the staff handles those players right then it stands to reason those players will be better on the court if there approach is within reason. For what it's worth I read the press release and I liked everything I've read.
