Adelman out after eight years with Kings

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Rick Adelman made eight straight playoff appearances in eight consecutive winning seasons coaching the Sacramento Kings. His teams won two division titles while crafting an exciting new image for one of the NBA's least lovable franchises.

And it wasn't nearly enough to save his job when the Kings' owners and executives looked at their empty trophy case.

The Kings dismissed the most successful coach in franchise history Tuesday in a firing mostly motivated by the club's desire for something better than the above-average results delivered by Adelman, 14th on the NBA's career list with 752 coaching victories.

Geoff Petrie, the Kings' president of basketball operations, wouldn't give any clear-cut reasons for the decision not to extend Adelman's contract, which expires in September. But owners Joe and Gavin Maloof, apparently dissatisfied with Adelman for years, are widely thought to be behind the move.

Good thing those assclowns don't own the Steelers, they would have fired Bill Cower years ago.

hell, it works for Stan Heath, head coach for The Arkansas Razorbacks...he finally gets them to the NCAA tournament for the first time since he took the job over and he got a wicked raise and a contract extension...and they got EMBARASSED in the first round by Bucknell.
