    Bring in Mike Brown? Keep Elston Turner to run the offense. Don't bring in the destroyer of our youth Dr. Death Van Gundy

    Without Adelman the Rockets won't even achieve the plus side of Morey mediocrity. We will plunge into the extreme depths reserved for the reel bottom feeders.

    We all know Rick's pros and cons,but it would have been better to get additional talent,despite the limitations and give him a extension. He is a professional coach,and knows more about basketball than Moneyball '' stats'' Morey,and Les will ever do. I expect that the entire system will be changed,and this will cause us a lot of problems.

    Question is, where does he go?

    Mavs? Heat? Magic?

    This is sad but not surprising. Could see this coming for the last few months. Good luck to Adelman though where ever he ends up next season.

    Assistants Elston Turner and Jack Sikma are expected to be contenders for Adelman's spot in Houston.

    I can see retaining Elston, as he has been a contender for other coaching jobs.
    Same offense, cheaper, and can relate to the youth.

    I am not saying that would be my first choice, but I could see it happening.

    I am still hoping for a defensive minded coach...

    Morey missed out when he didn't hire Tom T...

    That was a poor move by the Rocket's front office. I honestly don't think there can be another coach in this league that could have done a better job with our current band of players than Adelman has.

    If the Rockets seriously hire Mike Brown, I'm done being a fan. The man isn't even a coach, he is just a fan.

    So does this mean we are going all in for the 2012 Draft? Shouldn't that draft have two years of 1 and done's?
