Rockets should consider Sergio Scariolo as head coach

Anybody is better than Silas so I’m all for it, he’ll I’d take Kevin “play harder “ McHale over Silas as a coach again

 

Nah. If we wanted to b that innovated should have hired him when we started tanking.

I think if we want to out of the norm to get a cheap in house coach, Mahmoud Abdelfattah would b a candidate.

If not u go for Ime or Nurse.

This dude is way too far out there to take a leap of faith.

 

I think he was right when he thought he wasn't close to getting a head coaching job in the nba.

I think it's much less of an anti foreigner thing it's more just that it can take a long time for anyone that isn't a former player with a good reputation. I mean the Nets hired the Canadian Nash with zero coaching experience and the Kings hired Vlade Divac to their front office without much experience. But, they were nba players. Other guys have to work their way up. It's not even just tactics you need to learn the psychology of coaching these elite players who are the best of the best (and some that aren't, but think they are)

Scariolo may be good but I'll take my chances with the 2 proven finals coaches that look to be available.

This team needs someone who's seen the next steps and know what they need to do. We don't need anymore guys learning on the job.

 

If they decide to bring someone from Europe, the great Z.Obradovic is waiting there. Why compromise?

 

Sign Adam Sandler as head coach and Kyrie Irving in free agency. Sparks fly!

 

only rational solution

 

I'm all for Adam Sandler if he can get us Kermit Wilts

 

I like it. A proven winner. Euro basketball is also a lot more about keeping the ball moving and playing unselfishly, which this crew of young kids badly needs to learn.

 

Honestly the most important jobs of an NBA head coach are effective communication / influence / man management / getting everyone believing in and consistently motivated to execute a plan. Mostly stuff Silas is terrible at by the way.

The tactical stuff is obviously important in the playoffs, but for most teams assistants handle a lot of it.

I think mentality is a little different in Europe; I don’t think the coach has to convince the players so much, the coach is like god over there. A little more like college.

It’s just really hard for a foreign coach (or a college coach) to get and keep NBA players bought in.

 

If the Rockets are fortunate enough to land Wemby/Harden and a another or two solid free agent then Silas would look like Bickerstaff with the Cavs, who was basically a avg head coach and just has the pieces as all coaches need to look better

Silas will get an extension, because Stone would want to do right for those org employees as he said in his own words, which I would imagine Stone wants badly for Silas to succeed as much as he wants his lotto picks and trade for KPJ to work out

 

Agreed. Although the OP has the right intentions, this would NOT be the right move at all. Your summary above is very spot-on.

 

Would Conley Jr instead of Lowry.

I agree with the rest, just any legit coach.

 

i'm in. can he start yesterday?
