Seattle Sonics fire coach Bob Weiss
Coach Bob Weiss was too laid-back and nice for the Seattle Sonics after all (or as expected?). Weiss was promoted to head coach in July when Nate McMillan left for the Portland Trail Blazers head coach job Assistant Bob Hill will take over. Hill has previously coached Indiana, New York and San Antonio.
