    If we are going to run small ball for next year, the answer is DEFINITELY. There are few coaches that know it better than he.

    If we are thinking of ditching small ball...maybe?

    No, he only gets an extension if we're in the NBA finals.

    The thought that consolation prizes are linked to coaching incentives is just bad business.

    How old is Mike d'antoni?


    D'antoni is a grown man and he does not need any incentive to coach this team.

    It's on players to win.
    Yup

    Imagine this roster with any other coach. Seriously. He should have been either extended or fired a long time ago.

    Mike isn't a kid. He's just entering his prime.

    Hell No!! Why??

    Make this guy earn it.

    If the Rockets get bounced in the first round - its basically SOS

    So far Rockets are better because of personnel moves (Morey) - post season success will be more about coaching

    I believe thats the latter

    rotation n discipline issue not being taken seriously for a long time or just being unsolved, may hurt us in the end

    Extending MDA means he can get even better defensive minds on the coaching staff.

    He should only get paid going rate since he only coaches one side of the ball.

    Honestly, despite my criticism toward MDA I wouldnt be opposed to it. I mean who is out there that is really an instant upgrade over him?
