Oklahoma Thunder fire PJ Carlesimo after 1-12 start
PJ gets the boot after running OKC to a 21-74 record in over just over 1 year of work. Carlesimo has a career winning percentage of .408.
For those of you keeping track at home, PJ had a .221 winning percentage with the Thunder.
To put this into perspective, Randy Wittman is now 36-99 at the head of the Wolves' bench, giving him a .266 winning percentage with the club.
Wittman is on the verge of his 100th loss with the club in less than 2 full seasons. In what would be a double milestone of sorts, if the Wolves lose to the Detroit Pistons on Sunday, Wittman will have lost his 100th game as the Wolves' skipper in his 300th game as a head coach.
He is under contract through next season. There is about $5 million remaining on the contract.
Canis Hoopus would like to extend its most sincere sympathies to Mr. Carlesimo. Keep your chin up. You'll always have that win over Randy Wittman's Wolves to brag about.
You're welcome Oklahoma.

Thibodeau
Considering Randy Wittman’s current standing with Wolves fan, did anyone else find it odd that the Wolves and Jim Pet took the time to highlight Tom Thibodeau during the game vs. the Wolves? It’s probably wishful thinking to assume that this was a subtle way by the Wolves to raise Thibodeau’s profile within the Minnesota Consciousness, but one can hope!
p.s. I also had no idea that he was once an assistant with the Wolves, which I assume is probably the only reason they talked about him in the first place.
Here's a list of current asst coaches:
