Sources: Vogel: Contacted by Morey - Morey trying to move fast

So you are saying there is a 235% chance we are going to sign one of the above coaches?

 

All these good coaches have been available, but it looks like we probably settle for D'Antoni? With his 7 seconds or less offense? SMH

 

Fringe '' interest'' on the Rockets part. I'm not sure that even JVG is on the Rockets list. This is my opinion. I have no idea what is going to happen.

 

So there seems to be a massive disconnect between reports. Insiders are disagreeing with insiders, and even reporters are disagreeing. Did Pringles get a second interview? Are the Rockets interested in Vogel at all? I get an overwhelming sense either that no one really knows what going on (because so much of this is being decided by Les) or the Rockets are actively spreading misinformation to cloud the process and buy more time... or maybe both.

So sad, if you include earlier in the year, it was the picture perfect year for hiring a new head coach. Tom Thibs (even Harden loves the dude and would've been MVP material again), Vogel, JVG, Mehphis coach (forget his name)....And the Rockets have interviewed none of them. SMH

so where do we stand with the Vogel hire?

 

They are moving very fast with Vogel.

Vogel in some other language means Mike D'Antoni. :grin:

 

He will sign with the Magic

 

Maury is still trying to move fast

Takes some time when you are carrying around 300 lbs of grease

 

So we didn't interview the best young coach available on the market? It just doesn't make sense.

 

How much faster does Mauri have to move to catch Vogel so that Rockets can void any Pringles deal?

Wtf! Why couldn't we hire a better coach?!

 

All these young up and coming teams hiring good coaches. The rockets about to take their place in the cellar.

 

The Rockets don't want to compete, I see. I won't even be upset if Harden leaves. Get as far away from Les Alexander as possible. He really thinks being the team owner means he owns the "people" involved.

I'm hanging my T-mac and steve franchise throwbacks deep in the darkness of my closet. They won't see light until this team hire a real coach and quit this endless mediocre cycle. I'm just utterly sick to my stomach at this organization from top to bottom. They haven't earned our support and it seems Les doesn't care for it.
