Breaking News: George Karl has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the Sacramento Kings and will go down as the eighth coach to exit the job during the last 10 seasons.
The post Rick Adelman era hasn’t treated the Kings organization well and just when many thought bringing in a guy with a Hall of Fame resume would catapult Sacramento back into the playoffs, the complete opposite happened.
Karl ranks fifth all-time in the NBA for most wins, achieving 1175 regular season victories over a 27-year career. But his relationship with his best player and coaching style were not good enough to end the Kings’ drought of not making the playoffs in the past decade.
