PAUL RIVERS ADDED TO SONICS FRONT OFFICE STAFF

SEATTLE, Tuesday, September 11, 2007 – Seattle SuperSonics General Manager Sam Presti today announced Paul Rivers 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."

Rivers comes to the Sonics after spending the last two seasons as the video coordinator for the Detroit Pistons. Before joining the Pistons, Rivers spent the 2004-05 season with the San Antonio Spurs as video coordinator. He began his front office basketball career at Michigan State where he worked under head coach Tom Izzo in the video department.

You know nothing. Over a dozen prominent GMs or assistant GMs are former video coordinators (essentially video scouts nowadays). It's an important position. Thank you for the update, Gary
