After completing their worst season since the 1985-86 campaign, the Sonics decided it's time to shift gears and fired head coach Bob Hill. Seattle was just 31-51 in what might be their second to last year in the Pacific Northwest.

Hill wanted a chance to return, but ownership decided otherwise. Now the Sonics have to find a coach who knows it's a job in Seattle for maybe one year as franchise relocation rumors continue to exist.
