(AP) -- The Sacramento Kings fired coach Eric Musselman on Friday after just one tumultuous season. The Kings went 33-49 and missed the playoffs amid infighting and unimpressive play. The club, which reached the postseason eight consecutive times before coach Rick Adelman was fired last summer, wasted no time removing Musselman, but intends to take plenty of time to choose his replacement. "We've got to sit down and look at the process and how we did it," Geoff Petrie, the Kings' president of basketball operations, said of last summer's coaching search. "There was some concern -- not that we were out of the playoffs, but the way we were out of it. We just couldn't get the level of consistency that would allow us to (make the postseason)." The firing is a disastrous end to an experiment by Sacramento owners Joe and Gavin Maloof, who dropped Adelman last summer against Petrie's apparent wishes. The Maloofs eventually chose Musselman, a longtime NBA assistant coach who presided over two decent seasons with the Golden State Warriors from 2002-04. </div>
Hmmm... it wasn't a fluke with all the tumultuous complaints Emu had when he was coaching the Warriors and Mullin firing him.
How do you fire the guy after one year and all of the mess the teams been thru. When this happens the players usually have absolutly no respect for a coach.

But if you want a most improved player candidate (Arenas, Murphy, Cardinal, Boykins, Kevin Martin) hire Eric Musselman.
