Hammerdown!

Bob HillNo, not that Bobby Hill who is Hank's son. Its Bob Hill, new interim coach of the Sonics.

  I have no problem with this decision to fire Weiss. He is a great guy but the coaching record speaks for itself. But even I can't believe Sonic management pulled the trigger on this, so early in the season. I think they saw what I saw. And yes I do feel you have a "feel" for where the team is headed with a little more than a quarter season gone. Sure teams have turned it around after a start like this but we shouldn't be this far down in the 1st place I feel. With this years roster playing to its potential I saw us realistically as a #7 seed or therabouts.

  Bobby, we hardly knew ye! Just had a cup o coffee as head coach. But he has been a part of coaching Seattle ball since 1994 I think. Also a fact, he was on the 1st year 1967 Sonics team as a player. Good luck & Bon Voyage, although I hear he is still with the team and all is amicable. I wouldn't be too stoked to have the rug pulled out this early, but as I said, I'm down for a change. Didn't like the hire in the 1st place. No hard feelings Bob.
