    With a strong, late push in the search process, Kevin McHale has emerged as the frontrunner for the Houston Rockets coaching vacancy, multiple league sources told Yahoo! Sports on Saturday.

    No final decision has officially been reached, nor are contract negotiations underway, but McHale has clearly separated himself from Dallas Mavericks assistant Dwane Casey and Boston Celtics assistant Lawrence Frank, sources said. McHale made a strong final impression in conversations with Houston officials on Thursday in Chicago, and could receive a formal offer in the next week.

    Houston warmly welcomes KMac!

    In case anyone don't remember how good he was:

    So let's see if Finch is being groomed behind him.

    He will be a good big man's coach.....

    Not the guy I wanted but if McHale is named coach of the Rockets, I will wish him the best and support him.

    Maybe Moery will hire McHale to replace Moey as Houston's GM

    If he hires Chris Finch and Bruce Pearl as his assistants than I am happy.

    Interesting. Hopefully he can explain more on TNT if he gets the job before the finals begin.

    Looking at the glass half full, the guy was a pretty decent enough coach when coaching the Wolves but he said he hated traveling to away games.

    Looking at the glass half empty, back to back road games? Don't worry fellas, coach doesn't want to be there either!

    Ah well, it doesn't hurt to try him. He can be knowledgable at times.

    Pretty much how i feel, although i am really shocked and disappointed. I mean really? Really? Kevin freaking McHale? This guy is the Matt Millen of the NBA. Sure maybe he's a better coach than a GM, but that's not saying a whole hell of a lot. I just don't get it. It's really hard for me to swallow this if it comes to fruition. The only thing i know for sure about this guy, post playing days, is that he's a terrible evaluator of talent and a bad manager. It's a real leap of faith to think he's going to be a top-notch coach based on his track record. I mean Kevin freaking McHale? Really? I'm off to a rapture party. This is just too much.
