How about this, they would be the only players that would put up with his $hit. Since they would put up with his **** they would get PT and thus flourish. Hypothetically of course.
Because it's harder to believe that a player you would take with the 15th draft pick is so bad that he doesn't even deserve a chance to play. I can't even begin to fathom how a GM or coach could draft a player that high, and then all of the sudden realize "damn, this kid's feet should never even touch the court." Second round pick would be a different story.
I think that after about 10 to 15 pratices or games CATO would pull a SPREWELL ! And I would definetly pay to see that !
Eddie would come to practice stoned and wind up curled up in a fetal postion in the corner after Knight jumped his SH%*.
I think Bobby Knight would hurt more that help the current Rocket roster.....way to volatile for this group. But if for some reason no veteran coaches could be had(highly unlikely) Then my first choice would be John Thompson a) knows how to handle attitudes/egos - Iverson b) knows how to handle Big men - Mourning, P. Ewing, Othella H. c) Proven winner at least at the college level.
You forgot: 8) During a blowout loss to the Clippers, throws chair across court and accidentally hits George Bush (a special guest at Les's request), resulting in the Secret Service taking his butt out.
