New owners fire Miami Heat coach
MIAMI — Kevin Loughrey was fired yesterday after 31/2 years as coach of the Miami Heat and one day after the team's new owners took over.
The Associated Press
Assistant Alvin Gentry replaced Loughery on a day the owners, the Arison family, hired Dave Wohl as the team's executive vice president of basketball operations.
Wohl told Loughery about the termination after yesterday's practice. Loughery, who led the Heat to the playoffs two of the last three seasons, was offered a position as vice president for player personnel. It was not immediately known if Loughery, 55, would stay with the team.
"It was difficult for him," said Wohl, a Heat assistant coach for the team's first three seasons. "I've been in that position where I've been fired as a coach. I've had long, personal ties to Kevin."
The shakeup came one day after the NBA approved the sale of the club to the family of Carnival Cruise Lines founder Ted Arison. Wohl coached the New Jersey Nets from 1985 through 1987.
"I'd like a young, aggressive, smart group of people running this franchise," Micky Arison said at a news conference. He said that he and Wohl share a similar philosophy and want the same things for the franchise.
Gentry, who at 40 is taking on his first coaching job, said he was torn by the developments.
"I's really kind of an unbelievable Catch-22 for me," he said. "Kevin hired me here. It was a very, very tough situation, seeing Kevin leave."
Atlantic Division
Loughrey, then an assistant with the Atlanta Hawks, took over the Heat in 1991 for his sixth NBA coaching job. He also took the New York Nets to an American Basketball Association championship.
