Thunder Hire Darko Rajakovic To Coach 66ers
http://t.co/QmXuBv5S
The Thunder have reached an agreement with Serbian coach Darko Rajakovic,
hiring him to coach their D-League affiliate, the Tulsa 66ers, reports Adrian
Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports. Rajakovic still has to go through the
immigration process, so his hiring has yet to become official, but when it
does, he'll be the first European to coach an NBA or D-League franchise.
According to Wojnarowski, Thunder GM Sam Presti has a long relationship with
Rajakovic, dating back to Presti's time with the Spurs. The GM targeted the
33-year-old Serbian out of a belief that he could develop the players that
Oklahoma City sends to Tulsa for extra playing time.
Rajoakovic has coached Torrelodones in Spain for the last three seasons.
He'll follow in the footsteps of two 66ers head coaches, Dale Osbourne and
Nate Tibbetts, who have earned assistant coaching jobs for NBA teams since
working in Tulsa.

Presti找馬刺時期就認識的塞爾維亞教練Darko Rajakovic，Rajakovic曾帶過西班牙球隊
；他將會是發展聯盟史上第一位歐洲籍總教練。
前兩位Tulsa 66ers教練都被挖去當NBA的助理教練。
