Thursday, the Sacramento Kings announced the firing of head coach Dave Joerger, assistant GM Brandon Williams and longtime PR chief Chris Clark. According to the source, contract extensions for the coaching staff were even discussed throughout the season but eventually fizzled out. GettyWalton and the Lakers mutually agreed to part on Friday and on Monday, he was hired as the Kings’ head coach; a move that surprised few inside the organization. “They were high on Luke all season long,” the Kings’ coaching staff source said. Since 2012, the average tenure of a Kings’ head coach has been just two years.
