SHUE GIVEN WALKING PAPERS; COTTON FITZSIMMONS HIRED
The Tampa Bay Ballers, the preseason #1 ranked team has started off the season with two straight losses and you just knew heads would start to role somewhere. It usually starts with the head coach and Wednesday night Gene Shue was shown the door after a 107-101 loss to the Sacramento Kings.
After a late preseason trade to send Kevin Garnett to the New York Knicks the Ballers have not been the same. Shue’s offense and defensive schemes have not fit Garnett well and it showed again last night after going 6-17 from the field. Garnett was attempted to be interviewed after the game in response to the firing, but responded with no comment.
The Tampa Bay Ballers are expected to have a press conference today formally announcing the hiring of Head Coach Cotton Fitzsimmons.
