    If they won't let him commentate, let him coach.

    If Avery Johnson can do it, Calvin will only be better.

    I remember going to Calvin's basketball camp back in the year he got into the HOF which I think was '92. He taught a lot of what I know about playing basketball.

    But I suck so he's obviously not a good coach/teacher. :D

    I'd rather hire someone who can teach the whole freaking team how to drive to the basket instead of shooting 3 pointers.

    Come on. You should know that Calvin always pushed for the "stop and pop" closer to the basket.

    dude. come on.
    you know Calvin played when THERE WAS NO THREE POINT LINE?!?!

    [​IMG]
    The Rockets began play in the NBA in San Diego during the 1967-68 season, their nickname reflecting the growth of the space-age industries in the city. San Diego drafted Rudy Tomjanovich with the second overall pick of the 1970 NBA Draft and selected Calvin Murphy with the first pick in the second round that year.

    Point guards make excellent head coaches. They are the generals, they know the plays. They know the ebb and flow of the game. They know defenses cause they look at them all the time and have to figure out how to break them down.

    Mo Cheeks or Andrew Toney.
