Sonics add another person to front office
Posted by Eric Williams @ 12:15:08 pm

General Manager Sam Presti announced on Tuesday that Paul Rivers has been hired as the director of basketball technology.
 
“We are excited to welcome Paul to the Sonics front office,” Presti said. “Paul brings a wealth of knowledge to our overall operations and will help accelerate our personnel systems with his creativity.”
 
Before his arrival in Seattle Rivers spent the last two seasons as the video coordinator for the Detroit Pistons. Before that, Rivers served as the video coordinator for the San Antonio Spurs during the 2004-05 season.

He began his front office basketball career at Michigan State where he worked under head coach Tom Izzo in the video department.

Between the several hires with video coordinator experience, Walt Rock and himself Presti seems intent to have the Sonics lead the league in video review. That probably is a good thing but there are limits to how much players can absorb. Perhaps coaches too. Being targetted remains key.
