If the Rockets don't make it past the first round, do you want McHale back next year?

He had his chance.

With these players he should have gotten past round one. Much less not even getting a game seven.

How much harder is it for the players when nothing ever comes easy? When they have to scramble, and hustle, and improvise EVERYTHING? When every time the game is close and they have to play D their coach can't draw up a play. When he has the wrong players in at the wrong time and advises them to do the wrong thing?

Plus... his decision to totally ice the entire bench and play the eight man rotation to death.

How many times this year was his bad coaching hidden by the awesome talent of his players?
