I find this guy really enjoyable to listen to. The Blackhawks Insider podcast did a long interview with him, and he has that cool dad who cracks everyone up vibe.
He seems to like to throw in these little quips while he's telling stories that just make you laugh while still keeping you engaged in the story. He told the story of his kid playing against his team, and he said he told his kid, "better keep your head up."
He reminds me of this coach I had when I played high school football, we all loved him and played our asses off for him even though we were trash.
Obviously we don't know how things are going to play out here, but he strikes me as a unique personality that consistently brings a positive impact. Surround King with a few high quality assistants who know how to build systems and game manage, and I think King's personality alone can bring him and the team some success in this league. Not every successful coach needs to be a tactical genius, sometimes just managing personalities and motivating can make them a success.
