The Sacramento Kings have finally got a new coach, in the form of former Kings player and star of TV’s Hang Time Reggie Theus.
Because of his lack of NBA coaching experience, critics from the sporting world are suspicious of his landing the position, putting it down to his likeness to Reggie Miller and management hiring him because of his ‘nice guy’ status.
Theus played coach Bill Fuller in the hit TV series that ran from 1995-2001. He reacted to his success with a great deal of excitement:
“People that who me know that I’m not someone who gets speechless, but right now I am” he said. “When I got involved in the interview process, I really didn’t give it much though. It was just a chance to experience an NBA interview, and I never though about this really happening.”
