Oklahoma City (AFP) - Scott Brooks has stepped down as coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, the National Basketball Association team announced Wednesday.
Brooks went 338-207 over seven seasons with the Thunder and was named the league's 2009-10 coach of the year.
"This is an extremely difficult decision on many levels. Scott helped establish the identity of the Thunder and has earned his rightful place in the history of our organization through his seven years as a valued leader and team member," said GM Sam Presti in a statement.
