    Kevin is funny.

    I really hope we can keep Shane in whatever capacity, even as an assistant coach. He and Chuck embody the character that the Rockets have come to be known for. They are winners.

    C'mon, Daryl, make it work.

    Really? If there are any constants, I'd say they are one of them.

    I meant the Rockets as a team. That is why I didn't highlight "they are" ;)

    yeah, he is one of my favorite players in the NBA. Just a great guy all around. Too bad scum bags get more run than legit nice guys. Ph well, thats how the world turns.

    I know he may not want to leave due to his family situation but the Rox should ask him if he would want to go to a contender like Boston.....He deserves a ring and with that group of Vets in Bean Town I could easily see them takeing the Title....The Rox wont win one anytime soon so why not...?

    They could possible get a young player or two in return .....

    -Bradley
    -A Center AND/OR Pick

    IT IS WRITTEN.

    Pure class - it's nice to have guys like him to cheer for. Rockets over the years have had some of the classiest guys you could hope for. That's meant a lot to me. I wouldn't be half the fan I am if they were cycling through the Zach Randolph types.

    Shane is a class act and a true leader. I hope he retires as a Rocket. :p

    Battier ain't teaching, I'm betting ESPN, or take M.Bullard's, or Clyde's job.

    Shane will end up being a Hall of Fame coach in about 40 years.

    The biggest compliment I can give to Shane is that I root for him now. I'm a Maryland grad, and if you know anything about the Maryland-Duke feelings towards each other when it comes to basketball, that is a HUGE thing.
