    Who was/is your favorite in Rocket history?
    I'm not including the San Diego Rockets.

    No poll?

    Don Cheany? Seriously...I don't see how Rudy doesn't win this thing hands down.

    Aw, come on. One won us two Championships. No amount of boozing or inability to coach Francis and Mobley should keep him from being the favorite.

    its a good history lesson. new Rocket fans would be wowed by names like Del Harris and Bill Fitch. legendary coaches. Del Harris was also in all those funny detective movies too.

    Bill Fitch is a legendary coach. Del Harris, well...

    (Tex Winter should be considered legendary.)

    Even so, neither won us a championship.

    I voted for the last one, because I think the Rockets are going to go ahead and give Rick Barry a shot. He is also a former Rocket.

    How can Rick... be your favorite Rockets coach when he has never been one? Still isn't.

    Good to see no Larry Smith in the poll. Had not it been for Mr. Mean, Yao would have reached his first playoffs in his rookie season.

    He won two championships with the Rockets and along with Dream was the heart and soul of those teams.

    they only let you vote once and Fitch didn't deliver the big one, but he would get my vote for second favorite.
