Reggie Theus was named on Wednesday new head coach of Scaramento Kings. Theus used to play three NBA season for Scaramento Kings back in 1980’s.

"I could not write a better script myself," Theus said on the team's website. "I was a part of the history of the first team that played here, so it's not just a job for me, it's a passion.

"To be able to go back and be the head coach of the Kings is absolutely a dream come true. I have absolutely come full circle now."

The media reported that Theus signed a three-year, $6 million contract. He replaces Eric Musselman, who was fired April 20 after just one season.

"During the course of working through all the interviews and different possibilities, we really felt in the end that we wanted to go with a young coach, someone we could grow with," Kings president of basketball operations Geoff Petrie Petrie said.

"I think Reggie brings a lot of enthusiasm and charisma, along with his background, his history as an NBA player in the community of Sacramento, and what he did as a head coach at New Mexico State. He has a unique combination of abilities, and we think he'll grow and be an exciting coach for us going forward."
