    Rick Adelman has interviewed to become the next head coach for the Houston Rockets. HOUSTON -- NBA sources tell FOX 26 Sports that Rick Adelman will be named the next head coach of the Houston Rockets.

    League sources tell FOX 26 that Adelman and the Rockets have reached a preliminary agreement on a contract which means he will replace Jeff Van Gundy who was fired Friday.

    Adelman has been an NBA head coach with three different teams. Most recently he was the boss in Sacramento before being dismissed prior to the 2006-2007 season. He has also been the head coach in Golden State and in Portland where he led the Trailblazers to the NBA Finals twice.

    During his career as an NBA head coach, Adelman has won 61percent of his regular season games.

    He takes over a Rockets franchise that has not won a playoff series in 10 years.

    Can't argue that the style is going to change, and if nothing else it will be interesting to see what comes of it.

    If anything we can expect a fun offseason. There are going to be some changes and it will be exciting waiting for each one to unfold. Won't be the same offseason this year.

    Go Rockets!

    I can't stand this move, overall. But it doesn't matter. Go Rocks.

    Good to see Morey looks to have secured his target.

    It's gonna be a long off-season waiting to see what Aldeman brings to the team :(

    It still might...

    I agree with you, though. It's good to know that they got their first choice.

    So it begins!

    Can't wait for the inevitable roster change as Adleman tries to get players that suit his style.

    Good Bye to boring Gundy ball!!!!! :D
