ESPN.com news services
Rudy Tomjanovich will step down as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers after tonight's game against the Portland Trail Blazers, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher.


His health, although not a relapse of bladder cancer, and dissatisfaction with the way the Lakers are playing contributed to the decision, sources told Bucher.


The Lakers are 23-19.


Tomjanovich was hired by the Lakers last summer after leaving the coaching ranks over a year earlier to fight bladder cancer. He previously coached the Houston Rockets for 12 seasons, winning NBA championships in 1994 and 1995.


"It's just excitement, nothing but excitement," Tomjanovich said about his return. "It's a positive. I've been like a young school boy since this has happened. At times I haven't gotten to sleep, but it's not anxiety. It's excitement."


After losing to the Detroit Pistons in the NBA Finals, the Lakers ended their successful ties to coach Phil Jackson and traded Shaquille O'Neal to the Miami Heat

That fucking sucks

 

[K1NGP1N KuRuPT]

damn

 

[Tito]

You can take this for whats its worth but Phil Jackson has said tha he is "Intrigued by this Laker's team"

 

[AnarchistFunk]

Yea I wouldn't mind Phil back with this fast paced team, I really wanna see them use a full out run-n-gun offense like the mavericks used to use

 

[yak pac fatal]

[Steph]

i heard this but didnt believe it till my brother told me, and even then i had doubts, we were so pissed who tha fuck is gonna take Rudy T's place? damn him and his health problems..........

i dont like the Lakers as much now, but they still my team

 

[JuniorThaDon]

Damn this shit sucks, as a Laker Fan, Rudy brought some energy to the games, no idea who the fuck will coach this team now. Might as well go the Bill Russell route, and have Kobe be Player/Coach

 

[K1NGP1N KuRuPT]

they've been saying on the news that if he does resign, phil jackson could be one of the possibilities

 

[Story]

phil will not coach this lakers team because he said he will not coach kobe again. lets not get stupid here. you guys are starting to act ridiculous. phil also said hed be interested in the knicks job.

phil is not going to come back to the lakers. period. did you read his book, he said, to managament, either kobe goes or i go. do you think hes going to go coach kobe again after that? lol please

 

[Hurts]
