Reggie Theus Press Conference, Live Blog & Open Thread

The press conference starts at 3p Pacific. Stay tuned for coverage. You can watch the presser yourself at News10.net or on Comcast SportsNet in the Sacramento area.

3:05 pm: Erm, 3:15p start apparently.

3:08: The link to the streaming vid is now up on News10.net.

3:14: I'm starting to think CSN is not going live to the press conference.

3:16: Ailene Voisin is shy. She went to the second third row.

3:21: Any day century now...

3:30: Holy sh*t, is someone in the press room whistling that Gym Class Heroes "My Girlfriend" song? We have seen deep into the heart of the seedy journalist underworld.

3:33: Great, now we can look forward to 20-minute delays before Kings games. Reggie's hair does not slick itself back!

3:37: Maybe they want to run it live on News10 TV, but they refuse to pre-empt Salma Hayek on The Ellen Degeneres Show.

3:45: The photog in the front row is slipping into a coma. Quick! Someone kick his chair!

3:48: Gary Gerould's in the house. I remember him asking a rather silly question of Eric Musselman. It was a disguised attempt to brag about how long he's been with the organization. At least Theus can point to Kansas City and tell him to suck it.

3:49: And we have Theus. And Petrie. Petrie looks really excited, if excited is defined as "completely bored and listless and borderline suicidal."

3:51: The dark-haired Maloof has loose lips. He almost just admitted this was a Maloof hire, not a Petrie one.

3:54: Theus' comments on Petrie's poker face also seem to indict the Maloofs. It's time for Petrie to save these guys.

3:55: Theus: "The game is supposed to be fun, and I don't think the guys were having fun last year." Encouraging.

3:56: It's nice to know Reggie has talked to Mike Bibby and Ron Artest... but what about Kevin Martin? We haven't heard one mention of him yet. Everyone realizes this kid is the franchise, right? Right?

3:59: Nice Laker bash by the coach. Cheers to hating L.A.

4:02: Anyone hear that joke? Apparently, it was humorous.

4:03: Did he just rip Jerry Reynolds? He said he's learned what not to do from all his 16 NBA coaches... of which JR was one. Dinner's going to be uncomfortable tonight.

4:06: Petrie is a PR master. It's unfortunate his bosses aren't. See how he just handled that question about who made the final call?

4:12: Half an hour in, we get our first Martin reference. And it's about Petrie's draft acumen.

4:13: What is Gavin smelling? Must be disgusting.

4:14: So the Maloofs have been paying Theus for three years? And we're supposed to believe this was Petrie's call? Seriously, Maloofs... shh.

4:16: These four guys should get a room.

4:17: Not a single question about Terry Porter. I wanted to see Geoff sweat, dammit!

4:17: And we're done. Wait, was that Scott Brooks in the third row? Um... awkward. I'm dislodging myself from the laptop for a week or three. See ya.

This might be a good thing if she doesnt like him (and moves to the 3rd row). She never had a good thing to say except when she knew Rick wasn't coming back.

Re: Reggie Theus Press Conference
TZ will have a great recap of the presser also. Just wanted to say my thoughts as I thought of them. This confirms what I hoped last night, but didn't think possible. Also I wrote that diary foreshadowing alot of this. The questions are quite easy. Theus handles the media easily. He gets the now & then thing. I like this hire more & more. He may not work but given what we know, it won't be cuz he didn't have pro assistant experience.

I think the big thing is what you ignore & dont. I ignore Joe other than listening for certain things. Same with Geoff. Reggie has given the most insights and frankly he loves the game. He seems to need it and doesn't know how to hide it. I like that.

0-0 and the media seems to genuinely like him.  It will be interesting to see if Voison softens her stance.
Hard not to like him, and I am a lot more enthusiastic about this hire than I was last night.

Re: Well
I am enthusiastic too.  He is a very likable person (I can't remember that feeling about Musselman) and it's a fresh start for the franchise.  I'm actually glad that we didn't get a normal nba retread coach because most of the coaching in the league stinks.

Re: Well
I'm ignoring Reggie's time as a head coach as relating to the sideline. I think the big thing is that he has a learning curve and works with young players. At the same time I think his learning curve will lessen with a bad resume to start. I really hope that if he does a good job with a 25 win roster he gets a chance for a couple more seasons especially if Bibby and Artest is gone. I hope both are gone. I'm going to support any head coach in this effort. We all should.

Re: Thanks!
Section i speak for myself. Im just glad there is a kings community, for better or for worse, that allows us to say what we want pertaining to the kings. My emotions have come full circle in 24 hours. My initial reactions were poor. I'm glad I stepped back because I feel much better about it. I'm even more happy I wrote that diary explaining my whole reasoning along with it. What I'm most happy is that the Maloof's stepping back seems to be continuing as a process. That's the real news in all of this. If reggie is a stud on the sidelines that's a great bonus. Let's hope the Kings have hit a home run when all they needed to hit a single, and have seemed to.

TZ, for me personally, this website is the second to none.  espn, while a great nation wide site, never does a good job of reporting on individual small-market teams (i just heard Stephen A. Smith say that the maloofs made this hire.  he and others at bristol obviously haven't seen this site or actually know what is going on, becuase what we feared the most, and thankfully is untrue, was the maloofs direct hiring of a coach).  with all that said, i must say thank you to all those who have made this website possible.  

right when the musselman firing happened, i constanly checked espn and kings.com, but there was nothing but crap on both.  i was so frustrated that there was no news of what was going on.  then i stumbled, luckily, on STR.  these past two months, while agonizing during this search, STR has given me everything that i ever wanted and needed from inside info to nice stories here and there (a few k-mart appearances).

i know this is getting a little mushy, but you all do not know the anger that i was having at the lack of information that i was finding.  thanks TZ and who ever else contributed to making this great website (and the commenters, like the insane pookey lol).

when will the Kenny Thomas Reign of Terror end?!!??

Re: Thanks!
We're glad to have you as a part of the community, diehard. Sactown Royalty is one of the most rewarding things I've ever spent time doing... and it continues to be no matter how bad the team gets.

Re: Thanks!
TZ the alternative is RealGM. You can ask rimrock. It took me 5 mins to being banned for just calling something a motherfucking retard. With the *. Over an opinion no less. That's what makes str so great for me personally. You want to be brutal go right ahead. This site has a little of everything that many blogs around the web dont have. For what it's worth everytime I peruse most other blogs I think the same thing. Pounding the Rock being the exception. Those guys annoy me. Maybe it's just spurs fans generally.

Re: Reggie Theus Press Conference
Okay college coaches have made the transistion to the NBA. Cotton Fitzsimmons Dick Motta those types of guys came into the league and changed the league in their team. However the league has changed and college coaches LATELY haven't made that jump. Nothing in life is guaranteed. Reggie has the right tools to get it done. The only way you'll know if Reggie works is when he does or doesn't. All the other crap is just that. I need a soda to get more hype.

Re: Reggie Theus Press Conference
On top of that, the college coaches that have bombed had no experience at all in the pro game, as a coach OR a player!  Theus could be the one to make the transition because he's been a pro, he's been an on-air analyst, and he knows the game and the players.
Here's hoping that the draft and trades to come right the ship and give Reggie a fighting chance.

Re: Reggie Theus Press Conference
I don't know if there is an analogy to Reggie's path to this point in previous situations. If it was like Mike Montgomery Lon Kruger I'd be like WHAT THE FUCK? This isn't like that.

Re: Reggie Theus Press Conference,
I think it's interesting. Everybody knew Musselman wasn't coming back yet Scott Brooks didn't get a chance to be an interim head man. I wonder if that was a tell tale sign that he wasn't being considered?

Geoff is saying he wants somebody to grow with. He's going young. I'm convinced JASON SMITH EVERYBODY ;D/

Re: Reggie Theus Press Conference
say what you want about rick adelman but his record kind of looks a little out of place
Whether your dominating the playground, the last one to leave the gym, or your big time like Mike Bibby...

Re: Reggie Theus Press Conference
I wasn't going to point it out but that was exactly my point. Thank you for doing it Crown.

Re: Reggie Theus Press Conference
Or better yet Crown strip away the successful seasons. It shows how great a coach he really was at adapting to his talent quickly. A quick reminder.

  1. 27-23
  2. 44-38
  3. 55-27
  4. 61-21 (i still think that team should have won 65 games)
  5. 59-23
  6. 55-27
  7. 50-32
  8. 43-39

A cumulative 14 games over between his first 2 and last season here. Not a single coach has done that in Sacramento. I hope Reggie is the next with a winning record many years.
