As Ham later noted in an article covering the change, no new coach has been announced yet, but the Kings are presumed to have an eye out for someone who more closely matches new Kings coach Dave Joerger's style of play. Arseneault was known for a high tempo offense that shattered multiple D-League records. The style of play was often questioned as to whether it actually helped prepare players for an NBA offense, but it did align with George Karl's philosophy of "faster is always better".

It seems encouraging that the Kings seem to be moving on from their previous obsession with pace above everything else. It remains to be seen how fast a style Joerger will implement in Sacramento, but it seems fair to assume the Kings will be moving more towards an average league pace in the year to come.
