Kings' Christie Poised for Permanent Head Coaching Role | JQJO

Sacramento Kings interim head coach Doug Christie is close to securing the head coaching position permanently. Reports indicate the Kings are negotiating a long-term contract with Christie following the team's postseason exit. Christie took over after Mike Brown's dismissal in December and led the team to a significant offensive improvement. His coaching performance, despite the play-in tournament loss, appears to have impressed the Kings' organization, who recently hired a new general manager.
