Thunder fires P.J. Carlesimo after 1-12 start [NewsOK]
The only thing sillier than both the Sonics' move from Seattle to OKC and their generic new name was actually believing Carlesimo would make a good first head coach for Kevin Durant.

Carlesimo
The positive is he got out of town without getting choked.

Not even close to surprised. We all called it.
My diary from the day he was hired
Retread in Seattle.

The Seattle SuperSonics have scheduled a Thursday news conference amid reports that the team has hired P.J. Carlesimo as its new coach.
Team officials refused to comment Tuesday on a report that first appeared on the San Antonio Express-News Web site, which said Carlesimo had been chosen by Sonics ownership.
Good god. I really am not looking forward to hearing his grating voice on the sidelines. This is something that can not and will not work. He can never have the respect of an NBA locker room.
Does he deserve a second chance? My initial reaction is yes, it’s not his fault he got choked. But my second reaction is that he should have known what he was dealing with in Spree and that his lack of respect for his star player shows that he was unaware of the sociology of the NBA despite coaching in Portland prior to that.
I’m sure he’s learned and I’m sure he’s mellowed, but he’s always going to be kind of a joke based on what happened to him. We’ll see . . .

Haha
I clicked the link and what do I see? Skeptic was the first post making a joke about him getting choked. Some things never change.

Well,
he didnt deserve to get choked, but he is a horrible coach. Thanks again PJ for drafting Foyle before TMac.
Ellis to the rim.

Maybe we should ask Spree’s opinion about that?

I was going get on a make a choke comment
But I guess someone beat me to it. That’s carlesimo’s legacy here. Then SF mayor Willie Brown said it best, “There may very well have been racism. We have to examine this. He may very well have deserved to be choked.” Only after the white folks got offended did Willie Brown have to take back his comments. But I have to say, I had the very same gut reaction when I first feard about the choking. Carlesimo yells too much and needs to shave.
