Some might call the Sacramento Kings a terrible team or organization and they may not be wrong. However, the Detroit Piston’s Stan Van Gundy thinks it’s a total mockery and the Kings have shown no respect for current coach Ty Corbin. Corbin was just filling in as the interim coach after Mike Malone was inexplicably fired less than 30 games into the season.
“I think it’s an unfortunate situation the way it’s been handled,” Van Gundy told reporters before the Pistons’ 104-87 loss to the Spurs on Wednesday. “I think Tyrone Corbin has been treated very, very poorly by their organization. I think the way they’ve treated him is unfortunate and inexcusable for one of the real class acts in our business. To have a very public coaching, not search, courting going on and while you’re asking him to coach games, I think he’s handled it with a great deal of class.”
Corbin will remain with the Kings in an advisory role, Sacramento general manager Pete D’Alessandro said in a statement.
