If we can't have Larry Brown, why not Larry Smith?

    If we can't have Larry Brown, why not offer our own Larry, Larry Smith, the position? I am surprised that Les does not want to give Mr. Mean a chance. He might be a good candidate.

    Been there, done that. He had his chance to work his magic at the end of the season, and he flat out flunked the test.

    With guys like Dunleavy begging for a job, I dont think Mr. Mean will be even considered.
    Mr. Mean is a good assistant coach, but I dont think he can keep this team afloat as a head coach.

    Sorry but it is most unfortunate that you made this topic your first post! Larry Smith was a trainee Coach at best. He doesnt deserve anything and should find something else outside of the organisation as his horrible effort while Rudy was ill gives him low marks as far as I am concerned.

    Dude, just a suggestion: Step back from the keyboard, take a moment for yourself, reload, comeback, register again under another name, and we'll all forget this little 'post' incident ever happened.

    Wow, I am shocked there are so many Mr. Mean haters in this forum. I like Rudy, and I also like his assistant Larry. You can't blame Larry for not bringing the team in playoff. Rockets simply doesn't have enough talents. It's not Larry's fault. Suns is better than Rockets. Isn't it?

    In all fairness to Larry Smith, he may make a good coach someday. You can jump in the middle of a season and expect miracles. The Rox weren't playing well before he assumed the job and 18 days is not enough for him to turn it around.

    Having said that, I don't think he should coach the rockets at this point. My choice is Dunleavy
