Adelman would have NEVER taken the Kings to the next level, so I respectfully disagree. Great call!!! I say bring in Pat Riley. He knows how to get it done in the post season.

Adelman's probably the most successful 'safe' coach in history. He had good knowledge of X's and O's, and got along great with his team. He's not the 'in your face' type of coach that demands his top players to go all the way or die trying.
Petrie's track record is very, very good. I have trouble second guessing his moves. The Maloof's are fresh thinkers, and I'm sure they've got someone in mind already.
Who knows, maybe the planets are aligned for Rick Barry. The guy's a bottomless pit of basketball knowledge. He'd light a fire under anybody (althought he and Artest probably wouldn't work out so well).

I agree that Adelman can't take Sacramento to the next level. He has had sacramento teams with so much talent, but can't get them over the hump. There may be a limited number of coaches out there that are really good. Don Nelson definitely isn't the answer. Van Gundy would definitely do better than Nelson.
Love the pictures.

Adelman was not the answer for the Kings, I think with al the talent that was given to him all these years he just was not doing it.. and he was outcoached during playoffs in the past rescent years, especially during the conference title game vs LA a few years back when he went with a smal line up and was outrebounded in the last few minutes. He's underachieved.
I dont have an answer on who can actually replace them, I dont really think that their is a really good coach out their, but I would definitely throw my money at Rick Barry as well. I think the guy has soo much knowledge of the game but I also do not think he's a players coach. I think Adelman should have been out a few years ago, and he should feel good cause the Maloofs gave that guy soo many chances.

I like Musselman. I like what Terry Porter did for the Bucks, too.
Rick raised some pretty decent ballers from his own bloodline. I'm sure he can coach. Can he coach some of the egotistical pansies in today's professional sports? That's the big question. Coaches today have to be 50% basketball guru, 50% psychologist.
You can see how some great basketball minds can have trouble reaching out to players (Larry Brown, Lenny Wilkens) and some can sell ice to an eskimo (Phil Jackson, Chuck Daly).

I dont really like Musselman, I think with the talent the Kings have (I am not kings fan) I think they should bring in a big time coach. If they decide not to go that route then I thinkBarry might be one hell of a shot at that position. I think any team that tries Barry might benefit from it but your right Karl, I just dont think he will be able to deal with todays players, he is the type of coach that wont take crap from anyone. He's a hard nosed basketball coach.

Barry definitely wouldn't take any crap from players. With today's players, he'd end up having the disgruntled players and a team like the Knicks 
Lots of talent, no teamwork, poor play and poor results.
I agree with Karl. I think that a coach with pretty good basketball knowledge, but a more effective management style is more important 40/60 instead of 50/50 might be able to get better results.

i agree.. But i wouldn't mind don nelson or bryon scott. I would probably have artest be there to help choose a coach so we know he won't flip out.
