    Just trying to gauge what y'all are feeling or want head coaching wise.
    I'm all in for Sam Cassell a la the Texans and DeMeco Ryans in terms of re-energizing the fanbase but there are other good candidates out there obviously.

    If you vote "other" please mention who you have in mind. Perhaps there's an up and coming assistant coach out there that some of us may not have been keeping tabs on.

    Yeah Tilman will want the big name and that’s Ime.

    My guess is Ime will get to pick his next job and if he skips us Nurse and Vogel will be neck and neck

    Mario Elie. Junkyard Dog would give this team an identity and a winning mentality.

    Not really a big fan of any of these guys.

    What would the GARM think about Greg Buckner? History with the Rockets, associate HC for the Cavs. Soon after hiring him as Player Development Coach in 2011, we started getting the best out of a number of our younger players. (Lowry, Dragic, Parsons, Budinger, Patterson.) He helped oversee Harden's step forward from elite 6th man to legitimate superstar. He seems to have helped the Cavs to develop into a contender.

    Tilman will have no ethical qualms about a Udoka hire, and players around the league love him. I think he gets the job if he wants it.

    His preference is probably Toronto if he is given the choice.

    Udoka has the job. Tilman knows we don’t have any attractive woman hired on the Rockets broadcast team that would cause a distraction.

    I'm gonna go with The Turkish national team's coach Ergin Ataman, this guy can maximize Sengun's ability and therefor improve the Rockets next season.....
