66ers head coach Dale Osbourne joining Blazers staff

by Royce Young on August 29, 2012 at 4:38 pm 63 Comments

Are you a young basketball coach looking to fast track yourself to an NBA bench? Be the Tulsa 66ers next head coach.

The position is open yet again as Dale Osbourne has accepted an assistant coaching position on Terry Stotts’ new staff in Portland. That makes two Thunder people Stotts has poached (the other being top scout David Vanterpool).

Osbourne is the second 66ers head coach to move to the NBA in the last nine months as Nate Tibbetts recently joined Byron Scott’s staff in Cleveland.

“Dale was a valued member of the Thunder, through his commitment and service to the organization, he has had an impact on both our team in Tulsa and Oklahoma City,” said Sam Presti in a release. “Dale has worked tirelessly in the coaching profession and is more than deserving of this opportunity. Our goal is to focus on the development of not only our players, but also our coaches and staff with the Thunder and 66ers, and we are thrilled to see another member of the 66ers coaching staff continue their career by joining an NBA bench.”

Shelden Williams just signed to play over in France. He would have come home for cheap and been more useful than Daniel Orton

 @MisterJohnsonOKC He got guaranteed money, whatever we do with him (maybe ends up in Tulsa), he is costing us. Shelden would have contributed and still had the hometown kid story

 @Old Man Game  @MisterJohnsonOKC It's not a lot of money, but point is he's trash and there are productive players still out there who would have been better

 @ThunderChick2010 Good to be back, I suppose....  Sitting on a beach in Hawaii, or sitting in a boring class about Class 3 solder connections for 3 days......Hmmm.  Oh well, was good while it lasted.  And at least the class is over.  SO BORING.

She should have gone with her college dress but a slightly lighter shade and I want it closer without the rain like this  http://images.nationalgeographic.com/wpf/media-live/photos/000/015/cache/twilight-rainbow-nicklen_1535_600x450.jpg

 @novelisticbee0 I've been to all the OKC games in the A-T-L.  Uncle Jeff dunked to win the game right in front of me and my son a couple of years ago!  Last year kind of stunk, as OKC layed an egg.  I expect the Thunder to exact their revenge this year!!!

Our own OKC Thunder take on the Los Angeles Clippers, Wednesday Nov 21 at 6:30pm. I got us and us only a Box suite to watch the game and chop it up together DailyThunder style. We will also get a meal, drinks, and an oncourt group photo postgame. Price is $70. We have about 9 signed up already meaning 21 spots left. Anybody else interested let me know, dennis.berry12 on facebook, bigdawgdl at sbcglobal.net, 580 647 34one7
