    I think DaDa has the inside track for that position.

    Hmmm, last year Dennis Lindsey went to Spurs and we got Scola. Maybe we will get MM this time?

    Good to see him moving up the ranks to become an assistant coach. I guess there wasn't enough room for him to be part of Adelman's bench.

    Good info, he'll be sorely missed.

    If he's really leaving I'm wondering why? More money?

    I may be totally off on this but....

    Wasn't it Dean Cooper that did midwest college scouting and brought Landry to the attention of the Rockets? Can anyone verify one way or another?

    On Richard Justice's radio show CD gave credit to Dean Cooper for finding Carl Landry.

    I have always hesitated to name drop, etc. on the board; however now that its official, I must say congrats to my good pal Coop. This is a guy who has bled Rockets Red for the last 9 years, and there will be a void left behind that will be tough to fill. It is exciting to know that he will make his return to the bench as he has hoped, but it is bittersweet to know that the Rockets organization has lost one of its MOST driven, and down to earth people.

    Being that your obviously in know, is something going on that we keep losing supposedly young and talented front office personnel. DL last year and Cooper this one, it just makes me wonder what's going on and why we can't keep these guys in house?

    Just a question, but it seems to me like a "VP of personnel" would be closer in line to becoming a GM than an assistant coach working through the ranks to head coach? Am I missing something here?
