Another beloved 2001-02 Sacramento Kings team member has received a head coaching gig in Sacramento.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, former Kings guard Mike Bibby has agreed to become the head coach of Sacramento State’s men’s basketball program.

Bibby’s agent, Tyler Glass of CSE Talent, negotiated the agreement with school officials in recent days. The university is slated to open a new basketball facility on campus next fall. Sac State president Luke Wood, an alum and the youngest president ever appointed in the California State University system, has been aggressive in his approach with the athletics programs — and the hiring of Bibby continues that.
Mike Bibby, a 14-year NBA veteran, has been searching for his next coaching opportunity following six years as a head coach at Shadow Mountain High School in Phoenix, Arizona.
Bibby led Shadow Mountain to four straight state championships, winning a total of five over his six-year run during the 2013 through 2019 seasons.
Sacramento State is fresh off a 7-25 season that saw them finish last in the Big Sky Conference.
As the Hornets continue to strive towards becoming an FBS school, adding a big name like Bibby could help the school’s chances to joining the Mountain West Conference in the coming years.
