Nuggets fire NBA Coach of the Year
The Denver Nuggets have fired George Karl, the NBA's Coach of the Year, a league source told Yahoo! Sports.
With one year left on his contract, Karl was pushing for an extension and ownership was unwilling to make the commitment. With a sense that Denver could be facing a season of acrimony, CEO Josh Kroenke decided to part ways with Karl.
Denver plans to reach out for permission to speak with Memphis Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins and Indiana Pacers associate head coach Brian Shaw immediately, a league source told Yahoo! Sports.
