The Sacramento Kings are setting their sights on a new chapter of excellence with the official announcement that veteran coach Mike Woodson has joined the team as Associate Head Coach. Known for his deep knowledge of the game and a proven track record of leadership, Woodson’s arrival signals a bold and strategic move by the Kings as they continue their quest to become a dominant force in the NBA.
With over two decades of coaching experience, including head coaching stints with the Atlanta Hawks and the New York Knicks, Woodson brings a wealth of insight and a championship mindset. Most recently, he made waves as the head coach at Indiana University, where he revitalized the program and reminded basketball fans of his elite coaching pedigree. Now, he returns to the NBA, ready to help elevate the Kings with his trademark discipline, defensive strategy, and player development skills.
Kings head coach Mike Brown, who has been instrumental in transforming the team’s culture and competitiveness, expressed strong enthusiasm about the hire. “Bringing Mike [Woodson] on board is a game-changer. He’s someone who knows what it takes to win and brings a level of experience and wisdom that will be invaluable for both our coaching staff and our players.”
The Kings, fresh off a playoff return that ended a long postseason drought, are clearly not resting on their laurels. Adding a respected voice like Woodson’s to the bench is not just a tactical boost—it’s a statement of intent. Sacramento is serious about building a sustainable winning culture, and with Woodson’s guidance, the team’s ceiling just got higher.
Fans have every reason to be excited. The Kings are building something special—and Mike Woodson is now a key part of that vision.
