    In the past, the Rockets have been known to have some decent forwards/centres (Hayes, M Malone, Dream, Chuck etc..), if we could bring one of those guys in (except Dream, obviously) to coach Cato over the offseason, do you think Cato would get motivated to play? I heard that Jermaine O'Neal has been working with Bill Russell over the past year or so, and O'Neal has improved a lot.

    Do you think it would work??

    I think Moses Malone would be a good match for Cato. If he could instill in him a bit of desire and a few tricks of the trade to rebound both D and O that would be great.

    Cato will never be an Elvin or a Hakeem. Barkley is probably a lousy teacher.

    Moses seems to match Cato's skills and temperment as I view it.

    Rich,
    Barkley is actually an excellent teacher, he deserves tremendous credit for his work with Cat and especially Steve. The only problem is, he already has a job in broadcasting that probably pays 100x as much as working with the Catomic Bomb.

    If Larry Smith(mr mean) can't tutor Cato, nobody can.

    "Remember, comatose boy, this was only a bad prank!!" - Steve Francis to a crying Kelvin Cato after the whole Rocket team pounds him with the towels with bars of soap ala Full Metal Jacket.

    Gotta give you props Rocket River for using a Kubrick reference!! :D

    What Rudy T and CD need is to bring in someone like the drill sgt and have him insult Cato to motivate him. I can see it now:

    Drill Sgt: "Oh don't try to get a rebound there Cato. If God had wanted you to be a dominant rebounder, he would have miracled your a**!!"

    Cato: "Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz - HUH, oh sir, yes sir!!"

    They occasionally have those episodes of Ricky Lake, Springer, etc., where the drill sergeant takes on troubled kids and tries to turn their life around and whip them into shape. Maybe we can trick Cato into going on one of those shows...
