Former NBA coach Mike Woodson has agreed to join the Sacramento Kings as associate head coach under Doug Christie, marking his return to the NBA after a brief hiatus coaching at Indiana University. Woodson brings a wealth of experience, having played in the league for 11 years and coached for 25 years, including a stint with the New York Knicks. His appointment comes as part of Christie's efforts to revamp the Kings' coaching staff following a mixed season record under interim coach Mike Brown.
Woodson's coaching journey has come full circle, from his roots with Bob Knight at Indiana to the NBA sidelines with the Knicks and now a new chapter with the Kings. His addition adds valuable expertise to the Sacramento coaching staff, as they aim to improve upon their recent performance and establish a winning culture. With Christie at the helm and Woodson by his side, the Kings are poised for an exciting new era as they strive to compete at the highest level in the NBA.
