New Mexico State: Theus Joins Royalty as Kings’ Coach



Theus Joins Royalty as Kings’ Coach: The Sacramento Kings made Reggie Theus, a former King, the 21st head coach in their history. Theus, who scored the first basket in Sacramento’s NBA history 22 years ago, was signed to a three-year deal. He had been coaching at New Mexico State the last two years, going 41-23. Theus said he was surprised to get the job but he vowed to return the team to the playoff-bound franchise it was before last year’s 33-49 debacle. Theus replaces Eric Musselman, who was dismissed after only one season at the Kings’ helm. Sacramento, which owns the 10th pick in the 2007 NBA draft, is expected to have a roster shake-up this summer.  [6/23/07]
