In a move lost past overdue, the Sonics fired the "heads of the organization".
I'm glad, I never liked Bob Hill, he's an ok assistant coach, but he doesn't fit with our team.
The two best immediate options to replace Hill are Marc Iavaroni, the Suns Assistant, who we almost hired before deciding that we wanted Bob Weiss, only to fired him before 1/3 of the season was over. Iavaroni would be a great coach because we have the pieces in place to play a Suns-like offense. The other option, as discussed previously at SSM is Dwayne Casey, who was fired from his head coaching job in Minnesota, and was an assistant coach when Nate McMillian coached us. He was our first option after Nate McMillan, but took the job with Minnesota because he didn't want to wait for all the jobs to be taken up only to have to return to Seattle as an assistant. Casey would be great because I think he's a great young coach, and he already has a great relationship with all of our players.
Overall, this is a great move by the Sonics Organization and a start in the right direction. I hope now that we hire a great coach, get a great draft pick and maybe offseason aquistion, and playy out of their minds so that the Sonics, the only pro-franchise in Seattle to win a championship, can stay in the great city of Seattle.

it's about damn time
It'll be interesting to see who gets hired next. Perhaps Bennett will hire some generic saps, so he can rebuild again next year if they move to okc.
I have a conspiracy theory that maybe Commissioner Stern doesn't want Seattle to move, so he'll rig us to win Greg Oden or Durant, and then we'll sign Gerald Wallace, and the calls will go mostly our way, and Bam! 2008 Champions. This is all predicated on the fact that Stern actually WANTS the Sonics to stay in Seattle, doubtful.
Oh yeah, forgot about Rick Adelman. I wouldn't mind him.
