Rockets coach tied with mentor Ramsay on all-time win list We are lucky to have one of basketball's all-time greatest coaches. Once Coach RA reaches 1000 wins there is no doubt in my mind he should be in the Hall of Fame.
Can we please sign the man to an extension? I'm tired of waiting. Les please, sign him to an extension before he garners attention from other teams around the league when his contract expires after this season. I do not want Adelman to leave. I always dreamed of the day he would coach the Rockets when I would watch his Sacramento teams play beautiful basketball and I want the dream to continue.
Ditto, I think we are a few years away from a championship. I so hopes he and his staff get an extension.
I loved those Kings teams back in those days, I cheered for them as my secondary team. They hated the Lakers as much as I did. Rick Adelman was the architect who had those guys running his offense to perfection. They would have won a title if not for Donaghy-gate.
The only coach I can think of that I like as much as Rudy T. I hope Les keeps him as long he still has a desire to coach.
Yes, Adelman is one of the best. I hope he enjoys being here as much as we enjoy having him here. It seems like he enjoys the challenge of coaching the Rockets whether it be size, injuries, or trying to fit unique players into his offense. He deserves everyone of those wins.
Before I moved to Houston (and had a hometown team!) I watched NBA on TNT - and I absolutely loved watching the Sacramento Kings, when Adelman was coach, play the game - they were, by far, my favorite team. They definitely got shafted in that series with the Lakers.
For real. Phil Jackson has worked with 3 of the ten greatest players of all time 1) MJ 2) Shaq 3) Kobe
As many rings as PJ has, he's probably one of the world's most underrated coaches. Winning consecutively is no joke, yet he's been able to win 3 peats 3 times already. Winning takes more than just have good players with you, you need to make timely substitutions and know how to handle egos players have. RA's really really good but he's nowhere near PJ (and Pop's) when it comes to thinking on the fly and managing subs during game. He's also not as good as a playmaker, our plays after timeouts last year were crap. Definitely a step below PJ IMHO.
