Rudy Tomjanovich is known mostly for two things regarding the Los Angeles Lakers: He lasted 43 games into a 5-year, $30 million contract in 2004-’05 to coach the team and the Kermit Washington punch.
Tomjanovich has remained with the Lakers in some capacity since resigning mid-season for personal and mental health reasons but fell victim to the sweeping changes that have been taking place since Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka took over.
His son, Trey Tomjanovich, also will no longer remain employed by the organization.
Together, the two Tomjanoviches made up a part of the scouting and analytical analysis departments.
