 SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Reggie Theus scored the first basket in the history of the Sacramento Kings nearly 22 years ago — and the club put the ball back in his hands Wednesday.
Kings owners Joe and Gavin Maloof formally introduced Theus as the franchise's 21st head coach at Arco Arena after signing him to a three-year deal. With a natty suit and a TV-star smile, Theus vowed to return excitement and wins to a once-successful team that fell apart last season.
"I've come full circle. This is an amazing dream to be sitting here," said Theus, who played three high-scoring seasons in Sacramento after the club's move from Kansas City to California's capital.
