Why Ty Ellis will be in a familiar situation as new coach of the Stockton Kings

The Kings’ G League affiliate announced a new home in April, a new name about a week later and new logos in May.

On Monday, the Stockton Kings announced a new leader.

Ty Ellis was named the team’s head coach. He replaces Darrick Martin, a former Kings player who led the squad in its final two seasons as the Reno Bighorns.

Ellis, 40, was an assistant coach for the Phoenix Suns last year. In all, he has been involved in professional basketball since going undrafted in 2001 after four years at Southern Nazarene.
