Head coach Hill, GM Sund out in Seattle

Team chairman Clay Bennett and vice chairman Lenny Wilkens will lead the search for each man’s replacement.

"Bob Hill and Rick Sund are fine individuals of excellent personal character and are basketball men through and through," said Bennett. "They were both extremely helpful to us during this challenging year of transition. We are sincerely appreciative to them for their service and we wish them only the very best."

Seattle finished 31-51 this season, losing its last five games while posting the second worst record in the Western Conference.
