With the 2008-09 season winding down, Sacramento coach Kenny Natt has made a pitch to remain with the club.

"I think I've done everything management has asked me to do," Natt said Friday. "Obviously we would love to have had more victories along the way. No one wants to lose. But I think I've done a great job of playing the young guys, making them better, instilling the discipline that they need as young guys to become better pros, professionals in this league, playing the right way, just instilling a lot of the things I've learned along the way as an assistant coach.

"I think we've made great strides since I've taken over. It's just a matter of having an opportunity to reap the benefits of it."
