    Am I the only one here who is hoping that Spo gets canned so that we can pick him up?

    Hell maybe even D'Antoni? (well our team would probably suck under D'Antoni but we'd be fun to watch).

    The coaching staff has done such a great job that I actually want one of the assistants, turner or sikma, to get the job. Also since there is all this talk about the organization not being loyal to its players and coaches, it would probably be good PR to hire one of our assisntants

    Does it really matter who the next coach is? He would be a yes-man and a dead coach walking anyway. He will be used as a fall guy much quicker than the past three outstanding coaches who were let go.

    So go ahead and speculate on this silly coaching hire which is totally irrelevant anyway. As I stated, whatever.

    Rudy T - the one and only coach to lead the Rox to a Championship! 2nd - Bill Fitch, at least he took them to the finals. Sorry to see Adelman go.

    The Diet Coke sales at the Toyota Center would go through the roof.

    I don't know much about him but I'm kind of interested in Mike Brown. He's relatively young and knows defense. I get the feeling his offense with the Cavs was handcuffed by having Lebron James. He should also be extremely hungry to prove himself after what happened in Cleveland.

    A lot of younger members now who didn't follow back then. They see JVG's rep as a defensive coach and think it's an instant fix. That's not happening without a proper C.

    Sloan is my 1st choice but Woodson might be my fave of who we've contacted. I'd wanna keep Elston and Sikma as assistants and the same offense.

    JVG!!! If they plan on keeping Yao, they need JVG, there will be no continuity if there is a new coach that will play Yao differently than before. I hope Rockets will give JVG another chance.
