正當NBA球迷不是看世界盃足球，就是注意03梯人氣球星動向的謠言時，
國王有個人事異動，其實也值得球迷轉眼注意一下..
The Kings have reached an agreement to hire former Utah head coach Ty Corbin
as the lead assistant on head coach Michael Malone’s staff a league source
confirmed.
國王的這個舉動，就是找來了前爵士教練「烤餅哥」Ty Corbin擔任球隊的助教。
Corbin will fill the role Brendan Malone, Michael’s father, was in before he
resigned before last season.
國王助教的空缺，是因為Brendan Malone，也就是國王現任教練Michael Malone的父親，
在去年球季開始前，無預警地辭去原本在國王隊的職務。
順便一提，Brendan Malone今年五月又被之前的老搭檔Stan Van Gundy找到活塞去了。
Corbin had a 112-146 record as Utah’s coach after replacing Jerry Sloan
during the 2010-11 season. The Jazz made the playoffs following the 2011-12
season, Corbin’s first full season as coach.
「烤餅哥」Corbin是在2011年2月，傳奇教練Jerry Sloan無預警辭職之後，
接替爵士總教練職務的。儘管在爵士當主帥期間的總體勝率還不到五成，
但還是有在第二個球季，也就是第一個完整的球季，帶領球隊打進一次季後賽－
只不過那次系列賽很快就被馬刺剃光頭橫掃。
Corbin played in the NBA from 1985-2001, including two stints in Sacramento
(1995-96, 1999-2000).
烤餅哥在當教練之前，有長達16年的球員生涯。
事實上他與國王算是有兩次短暫的落腳淵源，
其中第二次更是躬逢其盛參與到了「Adelman領軍黃金時期」。
Malone was looking for a coach with head coaching experience to help on the
staff. Corbin learned under the legendary Sloan beginning in 2004 before
taking over after Sloan resigned during his final season as Utah coach.
「烤餅哥」的到來，也算是幫國王現任主帥Michael Malone完成了一個心願，
那就是「讓曾經當過總教練的人加入助教團」。
Corbin在高掛球衣後，就被爵士聘請擔任Sloan的助教，
而且一當就是七個球季，直到教皇辭職。
