SACRAMENTO, CA, Tuesday, June 19, 2007 --- The Sacramento Kings have an
agreement in principle with Reggie Theus to become the team's 21st head
coach, it was announced today by Kings' President of Basketball Operations
Geoff Petrie. Details for a Wednesday (June 20th) afternoon press conference
will be released tomorrow morning.

國王隊總管Geoff Petrie今天正式宣佈聘請Reggie Theus擔任球隊第二十一任的總教練

"We're really excited about hiring Reggie," explained Petrie. "During the
course of working through all the interviews and different possibilities, we
really felt in the end that we wanted to go with a young coach, someone we
could grow with. I think Reggie brings a lot of enthusiasm and charisma,
along with his background with Rick Pitino at Louisville, his history as an
NBA player in the community of Sacramento, and what he did as a head coach at
New Mexico State. He has a unique combination of abilities, and we think
he'll grow and be an exciting coach for us going forward."

"我們非常高興能僱用Reggie "Petrie說 "經過許多不同的面試及考慮各種狀況後 在最後
我們確定球隊需要的是位年輕能幫助球隊成長的教練 我想Reggie會帶來許多熱情及
他非凡的能力----從他自Louisville大學Rick Pitino手下學到的  或是他在國王隊打球
的經歷  以及在New Mexico State擔任主教練的經驗 他有非常獨特的整合球隊的能力
我想他會在球隊未來中扮演一名熱情有幹勁的教練"

Theus, who played 13 years in the NBA and was a member of the 1985 inaugural
Sacramento Kings, is fresh off the heels of leading New Mexico State to a
berth in the NCAA Tournament (a first for the school since 1999). Theus
coached the Aggies for two seasons, compiling a 41-23 record. In his first
year at the helm of the NMSU program, Theus guided the Aggies to a tie for
the fifth-best turnaround in all of Division I basketball and the best
single-season improvement of any NMSU squad since the 1985-86 season. He
turned around a program that went 6-24 the year before he arrived (2004-05),
leading the team to a 16-14 record, including wins over rival New Mexico and
NCAA Tournament participants Pacific and Utah State. Theus' Aggies improved
to 25-9 last season, winning the Western Athletic Conference Tournament.

Theus打過13年的NBA 並且是1985年國王開始移至沙加緬度時的成員之ㄧ 接著他帶領New
Mexico State闖入NCAA的錦標賽  Theus執教New Mexico State的隊伍Aggies兩個球季
總成績是41-23 在他第一年的掌舵中  Theus使 Aggies在分區取得第五好的成績 並且是
NMSU1985-86年來最大的一次成績躍進 在他來的前一年球隊是6勝-24負   他一接手
第一年馬上使戰績變成16勝14敗 且贏了在New Mexico及NCAA的太平洋分區和Utah State
的所有對手
並在最後一年取得25勝-9負的佳績  球隊也贏了 西部運動聯盟的錦標賽

"Reggie is a coach who has a tremendous passion and love for the game of
basketball," said Kings' co-owner Joe Maloof. "He's got a terrific work
ethic, and I think that, combined with his passion for the game, will help
lead us into the future."

" Reggie是一位對籃球具有巨大熱情的教練 "Joe Maloof說" 他具備非常出色的工作倫理
道德 我認為這和他的熱情相輔相成起來 會幫助我們邁向未來"

Under Theus, NMSU also saw dramatic improvement in conference play as the
Aggies went 10-6 in their first season as a member of the WAC. The nine-win
improvement in conference play over the 2004-05 season was the Aggies'
biggest single-season turnaround in school history. The Aggies swept three
conference season series (Idaho, San Jose State, Utah State) while taking two
of three meetings from Hawai'i and advancing to the conference championship
semifinals.

在Theus手下 NMSU見到了戲劇性的改變 球隊Aggies第一個球季取得在所屬的
WAC聯盟取得10勝6負
2004-05賽季結束時9勝的增幅是校史上的最佳成績 Aggies在三個系列對戰中(三戰二勝
制)橫掃了對手
一路挺進至半決賽


"Obviously we're very excited about the hiring of Reggie," said Kings'
co-owner Gavin Maloof. "He's the King of Kings. He had a great career as a
player with this franchise and now he has a chance to be the head coach of
the team. He did a wonderful job with the New Mexico State program. He's very
well thought of and revered in Las Cruces and we're just really excited to
have him on board."

"無疑的我們很高興聘用Reggie "Gavin Maloof老闆說 他是土生土長的國王人 他在這
有著完美的球員生涯
並且現在是我們的總教練了 他在New Mexico State也有著完美的教練生涯 他對事物有非
常好的見解並在Las Cruces當地受人尊敬 總之我們很高興他能來執教"

Prior to his NMSU assignment, Theus spent two seasons as an assistant coach
at the University of Louisville under head coach Rick Pitino. While at
Louisville, he was an integral part of the Cardinals' run to the Final Four,
the 2005 Conference USA regular season and tournament titles while helping
lead the program to back-to-back 20-win seasons and a pair of NCAA Tournament
appearances. In 2004-05, Theus helped guide Louisville back to the Final Four
for the first time since their national title run in 1986.

在NMSU的工作之前 Theus花了兩年的時間 在Louisville 教練Rick Pitino團隊中擔任 助
攻教練
在這段期間 Cardinal能順利得到2005年該聯盟諸多獎項的以及 創下背靠背比賽二十勝的
佳績 以致於球隊在NCAA錦標賽的優秀成績  都和這位Theus教練大有關係
2004-05賽季  他幫助了Louisville重溫了自1986奪冠後就沒有在進入的Final Four滋味

"I've never been speechless in my life, and I'm struggling to find words
right now," expounded Theus. "When you've worked this hard to get into
coaching, even as a former NBA player, it's a wonderful feeling. It's very
difficult to put into words how happy I am. And as much as anything else,
it's such a great thing when people recognize how hard you've worked for
something.

"我這輩子還沒像現在這樣高興到說不出話來過"Theus說 當你努力去爭取並且真的成為了
NBA球隊的教練 甚至是球員 這種感覺真的很棒 真的很難去形容我是多麼高興 最重要的
是 你讓別人認同你在某一件
事物上所付出的努力"

"I'm just very happy. To be able to go back and be the head coach of the
Kings-I could not write a better script myself. It fits the term 'dream job'.
There are only a couple of those opportunities out there. I was a part of the
history of the first team that played here, so it's not just a job for me,
it's a passion. I've always loved the organization and I've always been
involved. From being a player to doing games to being an analyst on the
Kings' TV package, I've always kept in touch with the people that are
involved with the Kings. To be able to go back and be the head coach of the
Kings is absolutely a dream come true. I have absolutely come full circle
now."

"我很高興 可以回到國王並當總教練 實在是筆墨難以形容的感覺 這是我夢寐以求的工作
這是十分難得
的機會 我在這個隊的前身打過球 對我而言 當國王總教練不只是份工作  更充滿熱情 我
會永遠愛這支球隊並永遠屬於這裡 從當球員時期一直到擔任評述員的過程 我一直都
有和國王的人員作接觸
能在回到這當總教練真是美夢成真  好像繞了一圈又回家的感覺一樣"

Along with being an excellent teacher on the practice floor, Theus was also
Louisville's top recruiter, helping the Cardinals sign a handful of the
nation's top high school players over the past two seasons. He coached
current Kings' swingman Francisco Garcia at Louisville.

除了在場上是個出色的訓練教練 Theus的另一項才能就是發掘好球員 在學校兩季他幫球隊
簽下了少數幾位 頂尖的好手
譬如Francisco Garcia在Louisville就是他發掘的

A native of Los Angeles, and an Inglewood High School graduate, Theus was
able to utilize a vast network of connections throughout the region to help
Louisville land national letters of intent from four highly recruited prep
players on the West Coast, an area in which Pitino and Louisville had never
recruited before Theus' arrival.

由於Theus是加州土生土長的小孩 他利用廣大的人脈為球隊招募新血,
在他到來之前,這個部份是Pitinon及Louisville所不能的辦到的

Theus' coaching resume includes a variety of diverse experiences. Before
joining Pitino's staff at Louisville, Theus spent a year as a volunteer
assistant at Cal State Los Angeles. He also gained coaching experience as the
head coach of the Southern California All-Stars (17-and-under AAU Team) and
as a summer league coach for the Philadelphia 76ers and the Denver Nuggets.

Theus的教練生涯有著多變且豐富的履歷 在加入Pitino's在Louisville的團隊之前 他在
Cal State Los Angeles這所學校擔任了一年的自願助教 他也在許多不同的地方增加他的
執教經驗 包括擔任Southern California All-Stars的主教練 和 在夏季聯盟擔任費城七
六人 及丹佛金塊的教練

In the spring of 2002, Theus led the Las Vegas Slam of the American
Basketball Association to the Western Conference finals where they lost to
eventual champion Kansas City.

在2002年春  Theus率領著Las Vegas Slam 隊在西區決賽中敗給了當年的冠軍Kansas
City

Before turning his attention to the coaching profession, Theus' 13 years as a
player in the NBA were spent with the Chicago Bulls, Kansas City/Sacramento
Kings, Atlanta Hawks, Orlando Magic and New Jersey Nets. After being drafted
by the Bulls as the ninth overall pick in 1978, Theus finished runner-up in
the NBA Rookie of the Year voting to Kansas City's Phil Ford and was named to
the 1979 All-Rookie team.

6,453 career assists. Over his 13-year career, Theus averaged 18.5 points,

=========================================================================

年輕且完全無NBA執教的經驗 他與肌肉人不同的最大之處似乎是

他是黑人 肌肉男是白人   (毆飛)XD

他應該比較偏實作派(NBA13年經歷)  而肌肉男是理論派

肌肉男較憂鬱 這個教練比較有喜感(?)  而且還有發掘好球員的能力

不過他的執教經歷放到NBA來看不能算是什麼保證就是了

無論如何  祝福&期待 他能帶領KINGS進入另一個高峰


PS:匆忙翻完 應該有很多錯  麻煩不吝指教
