Former Kentucky star Anthony Davis needs a new head coach in the NBA.
The New Orleans Pelicans have fired coach Monty Williams after a 45-37 season and an appearance in the NBA playoffs.
Pelicans executive vice president Mickey Loomis had this to say in a statement:
“Making a decision like this is never easy and is never done hastily, especially when you are dealing with a person of Monty Williams’ character. We thanked Monty for the tremendous work and commitment he made to our organization and the development of our young players, specifically Anthony Davis,” Pelicans executive vice president Mickey Loomis said in a statement. “While we continue to work towards improving our roster, we decided that now was the time to make this decision. We wish nothing but the best for Monty in the future.”
Jeff Goodman (of course) of ESPN wonders how long it will be before we hear John Calipari to New Orleans rumors:
Monty Williams gone as Pelicans coach. How long before we hear the John Calipari rumblings … Anthony Davis, Tyreke Evans.
