(Marc Stein) Ty Lue to meet with Rockets early next week

They have focused entirely on former head coaches and top assistants. They have a mix of coaches with Finals appearances —Ty Lue and Jeff Van Gundy —up-and-coming assistants — Stephen Silas, Wes Unseld Jr. and David Vanterpool — and familiar faces — John Lucas, Kenny Atkinson and Van Gundy.

They could expand the pool of candidates, a person with knowledge of the process said. But he also said that those involved in the hunt have liked what they have heard so far.

The Rockets have sought, among other things, a coach that can embrace and perhaps enhance their philosophies; work in their collaborative style with the basketball operations staff; and most of all, click with their stars and veterans to push the Rockets beyond where they have gone since the championship era.

Lue and Van Gundy have yet to interview, but there already is a great deal to consider.

My feeling on Ty Lue as a coach...

 

I'd like him, Mark Jackson or Cassell

 

I don’t want Lue but after John Lucas became rumored, I’d be thrilled. The expectations for this hire are low.

 

great he deserves it

 

Mark Bergman meeting him at airport some things never change.

 

the only thing i remmeber about ty lue during his coaching stint with the cavs was that same dumbfounded look he would have when calling a timeout

 

It's a good thing i dont watch nba anymore due to BLM, Morey and now this clown joining the show soon.

 

it would be even better if you didn’t share your opinion on an NBA team fan site then!

 

I’ll let Danny express my views on Lue as a potential coach.

 

Hate to say it but this feels like the hire.

@cyberx mentioned it a ways back.

And with the clips possibly going a different direction we might be a match.

 

Every candidate was flown out. Ty Lue is just the only one with a big enough name for Berman’s sources to recognize. A hire wouldn’t surprise me except for the money. He checks most boxes in a hire for this team. Big name, won a championship, coached stars, players coach, and available. I’m not sure who gets the job but in the end we have no control and only John Lucas would be a clearly bad hire and even he could end up surprising. I didn’t want MDA and it worked out pretty well.

 

Lmfao 2 people we haven’t even contacted for interviews

 

If Mike Brown goes to Clippers that makes Ty Lue to Rockets all that more likely. Maybe Ty Lue doesn’t wanna develop the kids in New Orleans

 

The guy must be tired, probably been hiding out for weeks at the airport to get a glimpse of Lue.

 

Mark Bergman prob has a source at the airport..

 

I don't want anyone who thinks Houston is a secondary option. It is Bullsh*t! We have a player that is easily the best offensive weapon of this generation. If that isn't incentive enough then he can go find a job on espn

 

He’s going to inherit a terrible roster with a shaky owner and a GM with questionable roster moves. I don’t blame anyone for second guessing this team.
