    You should never be influenced by what an old character from the "Wizard of Oz" does! He probably will tell you that he personally invented the nickname "The Jet" to Kenny Smith! :D

    Maybe "Elder Man" is better because of the similar pronunciation. :D

    People use RA because they're lazy and it's short. "JVG" worked but RA doesn't when you have Rafer Alston on the team. JVG wouldn't have worked if his point guard was Juan Varlos Gavarro.

    I would recommend RAd, R-Ad or Ricky.

    Rick Ruler or Rick the Ruler has a nice ring to it.

    Coach 'A' is quite sufficient besides being exact and we all hope that he will be an A class coach!! :p
