    Rick Adelman just tied Dick Motta, his former coach in career wins. Congratulations. The Rockets are lucky to have one of the all time greats.

    This should be his appreciation thread. All the haters are off base.

    Rick Adelman is a true professional and I hope he retires a Rocket. BTW, congrats to Rick.

    Looks like DennisCD was a little slow on the draw today.

    One of the main reasons why I want the team to make the playoffs so bad, besides increasing "our assets" value, and for entertainment purposes of course, is for Adelman to enjoy a memorable ride with a bunch of hard working overachievers. Hoping for him to enjoy it enough to come back for another year.

    Whats funny about dick motta is kenny was telling the story about when he left the rockets and went to denver. Motta was the coach and they didn't even have practice dusing the season,lol. Kenny said all they did were play games and when they couldve been practicing, they didn't, so he would fly home to houston on those days. He told the young guys that it really wasn't like this. I think he said only goldwire was the only player to have any kind of career on that team.

    Rick started relatively late (at age 42, Motta started at age 37) and took 3 years off between coaching jobs (one year between POR and GSW, one between GSW and SAC and one between SAC and HOU). Motta actually only coached until age 65-- though he also took some years off from coaching. He had some very good teams and some very bad ones... so the Ws and the Ls both racked up.
