    Gundy is a class act and a true leader. I hope he retires as a Rocket.

    Yeah, he has a great "motor" and wingspan of a 7 footer

    As a native Houstonian, as someone who was born living in Sunnyside, and just as a damn human being, I love me some Jeff Van Gundy.

    I heard in one game JVG kept referencing that name, something like "That's what I call Pro-Vision!" when I think Pau made a jumpshot or something, to which Mark Jackson was like "What?!?"

    I don't hate Adelman, but I wish Van Gundy was still the coach.

    Absolutely. Dour attitude, self-deprecating humor, Samsonite luggage under the eyes, dogged, detail oriented approach and all. Let's not hijack this thread and turn it into a JVG v Adelman debate. This is about our former coach continuing to contribute to the Houston community, and I could not be prouder to have JVG as a continuing Houston resident. Sunnyside is still a troubled area financially and socio politically. I applaud any effort to support and uplift the neighborhood.

    We are lucky that one of the best coaches around could be our fallback if our current coach leaves.

    That's a huge luxury to have a good coach loyal to his favourite team.

    JVG is never afraid to jump into a tough situation

    I totally agree. It is not accident that Chicago Bulls coach is successful coming from JVG tree. JVG is still amongst us and I hope Rockets gives him another chance, if this Adelman experiment don't work.

    If we say toodles to Adelman he should just come back and coach the Rockets.

    The real question is... is JVG the black Shane Battier?

    JVG is the real Chuck Hayes. Chuck is our MVP. Battier is not as big a leader as Hayes.
