Three head coaches have manned the sidelines for the OKC Thunder in franchise history. The first was P.J. Carlesimo, he came with the team when they moved from their original residence of Seattle. His tenure in Oklahoma City was short-lived. Carlesimo was terminated after a mere 13 games, and replaced by assistant coach Scott Brooks, and scene.
Brooks’ Oklahoma City stint is a bit murkier. Some pundits proclaim he should have never lost his job. While other’s state OKC should have cut ties with Scotty much sooner. Considering Brooks has advanced beyond the quarterfinals only once in Washington with the Wizards speaks volumes.
