KINGS ADD REX KALAMIAN TO COACHING STAFF

SACRAMENTO, CA, Wednesday, August 29, 2007 --- The The Sacramento Kings today added Rex Kalamian to their coaching staff as an assistant coach, it was announced by Kings' President of Basketball Operations Geoff Petrie.

"Rex brings a lot of experience to the job," said Petrie. "Reggie intervied a lot of people and felt he would be the best fit for the remaining vacancy on his staff. We all look forward to working with him and the contribution he can make."

Kalamian, who spent the past two seasons as an assistant coach with the Minnesota Timberwolves, enters his first season with the Kings and 15th year overall in the NBA. He served as an assistant coach for player development for the Denver Nuggets in 2004-05.
"I think Rex really does round out a very good coaching staff," explained Kings' Head Coach Reggie Theus. "I think it's as important to blend experience with personalities, and we have a good blend of both with this coaching staff. I'm very excited because I got to know Rex when he was working with the Clippers and I was doing television in Los Angeles. So there was some familiarity there with him."

Prior to joining the staff in Denver, Kalamian served as a West Coast scout for the Philadelphia 76ers in 2003-04. Additionally, he spent 11 seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Kalamian began his career with the Clippers as an assistant to the scouting department in 1992 before being promoted to video coach in 1994. In addition to his many responsibilities on the bench, Kalamian prepared scouting reports on upcoming opponents for coaches and players, as well as breaking down individual player performance.
