Sacramento Kings fire coach Mike Brown, despite his winning record; Nuggets' coach criticizes move.

The Sacramento Kings fired head coach Mike Brown midway through his third season, despite his previous success leading the team to their first playoff berth since 2006 and earning Coach of the Year. Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone criticized the firing as "no class," noting Brown was informed over the phone while driving to the airport. The Kings, currently 13-18, appointed assistant coach Doug Christie as interim head coach.
