Los Angeles Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy was given the additional role of general manager, the National Basketball Association team said.

The Clippers also elevated Neil Olshey to assistant general manager from director of player personnel.

Dunleavy, 54, replaces Elgin Baylor, a Hall of Famer who's been an executive with the team for 22 years. Baylor, 74, joined the Clippers in 1986 as vice president of basketball operations after a 14-year playing career with the Los Angeles Lakers and a brief coaching stint with the New Orleans Jazz.

"In Mike and Neil, we're fortunate to already have talented people in place to make this transition a seamless one," Clippers President Andy Roeser said in a statement on the team's Web site.

Dunleavy, entering his sixth year as coach, had a similar dual role when he was with the Milwaukee Bucks from 1992-93 and 1995-96.

Olshey, hired as the director of player development in 2003, joined Dunleavy's staff as an assistant coach in 2004. He has been the team's director of player personnel for the past three seasons.
