Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
LOS ANGELES, April 15 (UPI) -- Interim Coach Kim Hughes was relieved of his duties Thursday as coach of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Hughes took over the team Feb. 4 when Mike Dunleavy resigned. The Clippers won just eight of the 33 games with Hughes as coach and wound up 29-53 for the season, 12th in the 15-team NBA Western Conference.
"We appreciate Kim's contributions during his time here especially over the last 2 1/2 months," said Clippers President Andy Roeser. "We also know that our responsibility is to do what is in the organization's immediate best interests for its ability to move forward.
"We will move deliberately and productively to regain the successful competitive position we had all hoped for when this past season began."
The Clippers haven't had a winning season since going 47-35 in 2005-06, which was also the last time they were in the playoffs.
