Dunn has joined the team as an assistant coach. Per club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed. An opening became available on Head Coach Rick Adelman's staff when long-time Assistant Coach John Wetzel announced his retirement earlier this month. "T.R. brings a lot of experience as both a player and coach to our staff," said Kings President of Basketball Operations Geoff Petrie. "He was a tough, hardnosed player during his career. He has brought that same work ethic to his coaching career. We are very excited about adding him to our staff.” Dunn, who enjoyed a 14-year NBA career as a player, is no stranger to the coaching ranks. He spent the past two seasons (2002-04) as an assistant coach for the Denver Nuggets in what was his second coaching tour with the club (he also served as an assistant for the Nuggets in 1997-98). In 2001-02, Dunn worked as an assistant coach at his alma mater, the University of Alabama. Prior to that, he coached in the WNBA for the Charlotte Sting, serving as head coach from 1999-01 and assistant coach from 1998-99. Dunn was also an assistant coach for the Charlotte Hornets from 1991-97. "This is a terrific honor to get this opportunity to join the Kings," said Dunn. "This team is one of the elite teams in the league, and the management and ownership are first-class. I'm just thrilled and excited, and I'm really looking forward to it." During his NBA playing days, Dunn spent 10 seasons as a member of the Denver Nuggets (1980-88 and 1989-91) and remains a mainstay in the franchise’s record books. He ranks second all-time in steals (1,070), fourth in games played (734), fourth in minutes played (18,322) and 21st in scoring (3,585). Regarding the Nuggets' post-season all-time annals, Dunn recorded the most steals in a single game (seven, vs. Portland on April 20, 1986) and ranks first in steals (83), second in games played (58), second in offensive rebounds (119), third in total rebounds (287), fourth in defensive rebounds (168) and 22nd in scoring (238). "I've admired T.R. in the job he's done for other teams over the years," said Adelman. "I felt we needed someone with experience who could relate to the players, have respect for the players, who's played in the league and handles scouting positions for other teams. With those things in mind , I thought T.R. was a great fit for us here." Dunn was named to the NBA's All-Defensive Second Team three times (1983-85) and was considered one of the top rebounding guards in the NBA throughout his career. He missed just six games due to injury over a 10-year span (1978-88). Drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 41st pick of the 1977 NBA Draft, Dunn spent his first three campaigns with Portland before being traded to Denver. He also played for the Phoenix Suns during the 1988-89 season. A four-year letterman at Alabama from 1973-77, Dunn finished his collegiate career with a scoring average of 11.2 points per game. --
