Chris Cohan height - How tall is Chris Cohan?

In the wake of such criticism and controversy, he finally sold the Warriors to Peter Guber and Joe Lacob for $450 million in July 2010.

In May 2009, Sports Illustrated listed the top ten best and worst owners of basketball teams, ranking Cohan as fourth worst. He criticized Cohan for sticking with coach Don Nelson as part of the Warriors' generally poor performance apart from their 2007 playoff first-round upset of the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks. He pointed out that Golden State was repeatedly rebuilding without much success.

In May 2007, Cohan was reportedly fighting a $160 million tax-evasion charge in federal court in the aftermath of his 1998 sale of Sonic Communications for more than $200 million.

He assumed control of the team in October 1994 prior to the 1994-95 season for a reported fee totaling at $130 million and helped renovate the Warriors' arena (now known as Oakland Arena). Under Cohan's ownership, however, the team experienced only two winning seasons and one trip to the playoffs in 16 seasons. As of 2005, Cohan's net worth was around $325 million.

In 1977, Cohan had founded Sonic Communications in 1977, which became one of the largest independently owned cable outlets in the country before he sold it in May 1998.

John Christopher Cohan (born January 2, 1950) is an American entrepreneur who was founder of Sonic Communications and owner of the Golden State Warriors of the NBA.

Cohan was born in 1950 in Hanford, California, the only child of John and Helen Cohan, who divorced when he was seven. John Cohan was originally from Texas and created businesses in Salinas, California, including a restaurant and later the television station KSBW. After his parents' divorce, Chris Cohan lived in Salinas with his mother and moved to Los Gatos, California as a teenager, where he graduated in 1968 from Los Gatos High School. Cohan attended Arizona State University, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in recreation; in two news stories in 1994, Cohan incorrectly claimed to have studied business at Arizona State.
