After seven successful seasons as Head Coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Scott Brooks was relieved from his position on April 22nd.

Brooks took over the Thunder after then Head Coach P.J. Carlesimo started the 2008 season 1-12. Brooks never looked back once he was handed the reins to the team, as he helped take the Thunder from hopeful playoff contenders, to major players in the NBA’s Western Conference.
