Which I guess is what Brent was referring to what he said him (and Dave Lowry) disagreed with management direction and they went their seperate ways, which I guess this interview ties up loose ends.

That logic never made sense. The Kings might have been the 8th seed that year but they were built like a contender. It made no sense to group them in that "anything can happen" category. In addition to that, when Darryl took over the Kings points percentage under him was 62.2%, good enough to win the Pacific Division that year. The Kings were a 3rd seed team put in the 8th seed because of their record before the coaching change.
