D'Antoni a possibility?

I think Sloan is a better fit than d'antoni


But I believe when Mchale contrAct is up they will bring the assistant head coach as coach.

 

No one wants to hire Sloan anymore. Not sure if Sloan is still on the bottle.
I would prefer JVG over Sloan.

But Mike Budenholzer is da man I want!

 

I'd like any of our old coaches back. We should bring back Tomjanovich.

 

Thanks for the heads up.

 

D'Antoni is AWFUL as a head coach. I wouldn't mind him on the staff but no way would I replace McHale with him.

 

Maybe an assistant?

 

You just went from bearable poster to rate one star immediately so others don't have to see what I had to see poster.

 

Like the Rockets, I'll work my way back up. No worries.

 

Please no .if you want to have him as a head coach u should think of hiring a defense assistant.

 

we should have him our head coach.

 

Agree

 

You have 60 posts and 60 threads...Nice post count to thread starting ratio.

 

i guess it is not possible to bring back both D'Antoni and JVG, one as head coach the other as assistant coach?

 

5 star thread, would mustache ride again

 

Have we not learned that Steve Nash makes everyone look better...even the coach?

 

ewwww.

no to D'Antoni unless he comes with a 25 year old Steve Nash.

 

If McHale doesn't work out this year I see the interview list like this next Summer-

1. Stan Van Gundy
2. Chris Finch
3. Kelvin Sampson
4. Mike Budenholzer
5. Sam Cassel
6. Mario Elie
.

99. Mike D'Antoni


Ultimately, I think its Finch's job to lose, unless SVG really sells them on his vision for the Rockets. That being said, he should be interviewed first due to his high demand and background. However, I think Finch would be a great fit for a new look, young Rockets team.

If you watch England play in the Summer you can see the style of play he likes to run. Its tons of freedom on offense, lots of movement, and he runs a pretty tight ship on defense. I think the Adelman fans, and the JVG style fans will find his gameplay to be a happy medium.

 

Olympic basketball doses't serve as a good reference for NBA.
I like Sloan.

 

well when your team starts someone like Joel Freeland your gameplay is going to look differently then it would with quality NBA players. Add in FIBA rules and yes, it does look quite different.

That being said, Finch still has enough of a track record in international and D-league coaching to know his basic coaching principles. He's even talked about it in interviews with the Rockets media. He believes in a motion based offense, and still places high emphasis on the defensive end.

I dont know who the next coach of the Rockets is going to be, but I can guarantee you that Jerry Sloan will not be the next Houston Rockets coach. Great coach, not the right fit.
