    Adelman + JVG combination. JVG for defense and Adelman for offense. Let's revolutionize the co-head coach position.

    Mark Jackson would do good here but Houston won't hire him.

    You're delusional. He might be worth firing, but it'd be terrible from a media perspective to fire a coach that just went to the WCF. Not to mention every year since hiring McHale our wins have increased.

    Not that either of those are the product of McHale. But, still, they can't so quickly fire somebody with those on his resume, even if he lucked into them.

    I deathly afraid that the Rockets will become the next Knicks. Remember the Knicks a couple years led the Eastern Conference in wins and in the next season imploded with nearly the same roster and he didn't even make the playoffs. Both teams have ****ty coaches with a iso-loving jumpshooting no D, lack of effort star player.

    Yes. They can.

    The media hates us anyway? Do we want to WIN a championship or have the media on our nuts?

    If the FO is too scared to make a move because of what the media will think, then they shouldn't be running an NBA Franchise. This team may need time to gel, but you can't get blown out by Denver on opening night and lose by 20 when you have a 21 point lead in the 3rd. That's bad preparation and coaching.

    Morey built this team to win now, he damn well better have the cojones to fire this dude if we continue this pathetic attempt at professional basketball.

    They would never do it, but I'd love Adelman back. Never fully agreed with the firing. Another guy I'd consider is McMillan, but I fear he's been out of the NBA too long.

    Thibs will never accept. He doesnt' want intervention from the front office.

    The team lost by 20!!!!! in every game it has played in RS.
    If the media fail to understand it then the media has the brain of a donkey and who cares.

    Pretty much this....

    Maybe things will get better once Leslie understands he will never win another trophy, sell the team, new owner fires Morey and Mchale immediately, re-designs jerseys and we can start over. We will never win big with this combination of a GM, head coach and best player.

    Isn't Chris Finch a lock to replace McHale in this kind of situation?

    No to coaches who peaked playing 90's ball. Everything has changed up now and NBA offense is more sophisticated than ever.

    morey and les aren't going to voluntarily part with mchale. the only things i could see forcing their hands would be harden requesting it or a barrage of houston media pounding the front office daily about mchale's incompetence. and both those scenarios look unlikely.

    This team looks lost.. This team looks like they don't know what they are supposed to do..

    I have NEVER seen a team more prepared then a JVG coached team.

    We have the talent, we need he coach

    Hayes is back and so it is time for JVG to come back

    I know nothing of College basketball, anything out there worth targeting (hypothetically?)

    I see names like John Beilein (Michigan) and Bob McKillop (Davidson) pop up as having sophisticated offenses.

    On McKillop:

    "The creativity of the off-ball screens in McKillop's offense to get guys free for 3s are incredible"

    http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/25269162/candid-coaches-who-is-the-best-offensive-coach-in-college-basketball

    Again. I'm a college-ball novice, so anyone with the knowledge, well...feel free to drop it.

    According to Morey, coaching is not that important, since he's the strategist. Coaches only sway a team's wins or losses by 5 maximum per season.

    I don't care about 'wearing players down' Thibs is exactly the coach we need for this team. someone intense who will hold players accountable and yell at them

    Nah.. He seems like the same style of coach that Mchale is.... A player's coach who is loose with his players. This team needs some discipline.
