Report: Thunder Fires Carlesimo

Saturday, November 22, 2008

(Sports Network) - The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly fired head coach P.J. Carlesimo after just 13 games.

According to the Oklahoman, the move was made following Friday's 105-80 loss to the New Orleans Hornets. Assistant coach Scott Brooks is expected to take over on an interim basis.

The Thunder have lost 10 straight games en route to a league-worst 1-12 record.

Carlesimo, who was in his second season with the team, guided the SuperSonics to a franchise-worst 20-62 record in 2007-08, the organization's final campaign in the Emerald City.

Carlesimo has compiled a 204-296 regular season mark during his time as an NBA coach. He guided Portland for three seasons (1994-97) and then Golden State from 1997 until he was replaced during the 1999-2000 campaign.
