ummmm FUUUUCCCKKKKKKK! (for the record i'm not against reggie....this does not feel right)

I'm bothered by this i really am. I don't feel Brooks was seriously considered. I really don't. I want to know the entire process of how the coaching search went. The organization owes that to us at least.

My gut feeling is the entire family liked Theus having more knowledge than of Brooks or Shaw. Which is a shame because I'd much rather have Brooks and Shaw in that order. Ugh I have a terrible feeling about this I really do. I hope Reggie turns out to be a stud for our sake. Which in turn could turn things worse or better. Who knows. Ugh.

It will be interesting to see if either Theus or Mike Woodson can win more games as a coach next year then they did when they played in the backcourt together...

Dare i say it..... Im quite pleased with the decision. Granted, Theus does not have the experience coaching at the "next" level as Shaw and Brooks do but I feel that can work to the Kings (and the City's ) advantage. To be honest, our boys dont have the talent/athleticism to be instant contenders by the fate of "experienced" coaching alone! Theus is an eccentric figure who if nothing else will bring excitement back to Arco.Face it, those of us who have attended games during the post Webber/J Dub years will easily tell you that the #1 NBA fans slogan often awarded to Sacramento is grossly overrated in recent years. Theus will bring instant authentic energy back to our team and our arena! (Not the Musselman, deer in the headlights energy that was often on display) Hopefully with the "us against them" frame of mind Theus can pull the team back out of a jam the same way in which he did at New Mexico State..Give him a chance.. If nothing else it will be a beautiful sight to see all those retro (names under the #'s) Theus jerseys in the crowd! It might actually bring a little passion back to the confines of that good ol' place we call home!!

This hire has "disaster" written all over it...

I agree with Pookie AND I agree with Hoops916.

I really want this decision to be Petries. NOT the Maloofs. It's one thing if the Maloofs hate a guy for some reason but not just that they think one guy is better. That's fine but let Petrie be the one to hire HIS man. It's fine if the Maloofs tell Petrie "I like Theus and Brooks but we would prefer you pick Theus." Then it's up to Petrie to go with Brooks even though the Maloofs prefer Theus. Now if the Maloofs told Petrie "We like Brooks but we prefer Theus so DON'T hire Brooks, then that's just wrong.

As far as Theus coming here, I am excited about his potential. I DO think that he may be a great coach in the making. I do agree that he will bring a LOT of excitement back into the Arena and the fans and maybe that will translate over to the players who should like Reggie. At least they should respect his NBA experience and knowledge. Whether he can motivate on this level without rubbing people the wrong way we will see. Jerry Reynolds in his book mentioned numerous times how Reggie liked to do things his way and was stubborn. That could be good OR bad as a coach.

You guys think Garcia was approached about the hire due to their time at Louisville together? Cisco seems to be one of the players favorite guys on the team and could give Theus instant credibility in the locker room by vouching for him. Credibility among the fellas = something Musselman never possessed

Theus has already been quoted as saying that one of his first priorities is hiring an assistant with NBA head coaching experience - "a Del Harris type."  Anyone have any ideas or suggestions on this one (and no suggesting Musselman!)?
