Clippers decide on Del Negro
Basketball Betting Lines
07/07/2010 -
Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Clippers have decided to
hire Vinny Del Negro as their next head coach.
Del Negro and Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Dwane Casey were finalists for
the position and both had interviews on Monday. The Clippers released a
statement Tuesday night saying they had reached an agreement in principle with
Del Negro. The team said additional information will be made available on
Wednesday,
The 43-year-old Del Negro had one season and about $2 million remaining on his
contract with the Bulls when he was fired. He compiled an 82-82 regular season
record to go with a 4-8 postseason record over two turbulent years with the
team. The Bulls finished with a 41-41 mark in each season and were ousted by
the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of this year's playoffs.
Prior to his coaching stint with Chicago, Del Negro spent 13 seasons in the
NBA with Sacramento, San Antonio, Milwaukee, Phoenix and Golden State,
averaging 9.1 points and 3.2 assists in 771 career regular season games. He
also spent parts of three seasons playing in Italy.
The Clippers needed a replacement for interim head coach Kim Hughes, who was
relieved of his duties following this past season. Hughes, who took over
behind the bench after the resignation of Mike Dunleavy on February 4,
finished the season with an 8-25 record as the Clippers went 29-53 and landed
third in the Pacific Division.
The Clippers have not recorded a winning season since going 47-35 in 2005-06,
which was the last time the club advanced to the postseason. That year, LA
topped Denver in five games before falling in a seven-game Western semifinal
against Phoenix.
