Clippers reach terms with coach Rivers on new deal
Print Edition
Doc Rivers has signed a coaching contract extension with the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers even after they missed the playoffs for the first time since 2011, the team said on Wednesday.
“Doc is one of the top coaches in the NBA, coming off one of his finest seasons since joining the Clippers,” Clippers chairman Steve Ballmer said. “We trust Doc to lead a competitive, tough, hard-working team while upholding a culture of accountability expected to resonate throughout the organization.” Rivers, who coached the Boston Celtics to the 2008 NBA title, has gone 259-151 in five seasons guiding the Clippers, the fifth-best record in the league over that span. In 19 NBA seasons as a coach, Rivers, 59, is 846-624 with the second-most wins among active NBA coaches to San Antonio’s Gregg Popovich. He’s 14th on the all-time NBA win list.
