Avery Johnson had no experience. JVG has a ton of experience but has acomplished nothing in his career. They need a new, fresh coach.
I'll counter this thread with a proposition to start up: Lets go for Chubby Cox! He had a one year tenure in the NBA, SURELY fitted for coaching the Rockets! http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/coxch01.html
No doubt!! How sweet would that be especially now that The Dream will be working with Yao in the summer time!!
To Avery's credit he did have a couple of years tenure as assistant coach. I'm not even sure what Calvin's doing nowadays...
I saw Calvin Murphy on a plane coming back to houston from nyc a couple of weeks ago. I asked him what he thought of the rockets chances this year, and he said, and i quote, "I dont follow the rockets anymore!"
wow!, les must have really really upset him. i remember Calvin in pure joy when the Rockets won the 1st championships.."DREAM ON!!" "DREAM ON!"
just get murph back on the air for heaven's sake!! i can't handle this clyde, bullard, van chancellor SH*T!
I'm pretty sure he took over as head coach during his first year as an assistant. If not calvin then how bout mario elie, he had more experience than avery
For the younger members / newer Rockets fans, Calvin Murphy, aka, the Pocket Rocket, is a warm, happy-go-lucky sort -- except when he's playing basketball. Make no mistake, he was deadly serious when playing the game. He took no guff and gave no quarter. He played with heart AND intelligence. I think he would a heckuva good coach if we can't get a known commodity like Rick Adelman.
Les was all over this move... I know first-hand from his minions (people who do all the work for him). They couldn't get past his fathering of children with multiple wives... even though he was found innocent of the molestation charges. IMO, it wasn't even as bad as what Marv Albert actually got convicted for (and admitted). Dumb Rockets.
I Miss Murph! You guys ever wonder if there is a small possibility that he could be you biological father and your mother is a lying tramp....it could be....hmmmmmm
Didn't he rape his daughter .... He could teach T-Mac and Yao how to put em in the popcorn machine and shak'em up....
The Rockets are paying for the bad karma generated by the organizational ill will toward one of the Rockets' greatest players, Calvin Murphy. Les, if you won't put him on the air, put him on the bench.
