    Calvin watkins Tweeted that Kenny smith was informed he would not coach the rockets:

    so did they make a decision and now letting all the candidates know , that there out of the race?

    Kenny should be given an assistant coach seat at least.

    If Kenny exaggerates anywhere near Charles level, his sentiment would look obvious.

    I just hope we're winning games. Let them hate on 55 wins.

    Well, one of the few positives to the season the Rockets just had is that they probably won't play very many TNT games, so the host won't have as many opportunities to bash us.

    Rockets just got clowned on TNT for not picking Kenny.

    Has there ever been a team so relentlessly teased on Television?

    Why even call Smith in for an interview? I would have just left that alone. Anyway they've already started the jokes on Inside The NBA. Now they hate us even more.

    Thanks I forgot about the treatment of Cisco. No laughing matter and since they treated him like utter trash this team has been lacking leadership.

    i'm not sure his ego would allow him to serve as a mere assistant

    His ego allowed us to let Sam finish the games en route to a championship. :cool:

    kenny's an insecure guy with a fragile ego. we all know it was killing him inside that a rookie stole the show in the first finals game in kenny's hometown (game 3) :grin:

    Simply being interviewed for an NBA head coaching job raises Kenny's stock should he want to pursue coaching (nba, div I, whatever). I can't help but think the Rockets, for whatever reason, wanted to extend some goodwill his way.

    I didn't watch it &mdash; Charles being Charles?

    He told Kenny not to take over the "Titanic" because it was a terrible, awful, no good job and he already had a great job. You don't leave great jobs for bad jobs.

    Rockets don't hire him and predictably Charles goes on to be Charles.

    Edit: Just saw it. :rolleyes:

    Comparable jobs to the Rockets:
    •Captain of the Titanic
    •President of Syria
    •Coach of the Sacramento Kings
    •Ted Cruz's manager

    So much for that fake ass apology.

    President of Syria??? Now if they don't make him apologize for that, then I don't know what else to say...this is utterly embarrassing and disgusting. If he had said Hitler, the media would've blown up.

    He's reading off his notes. Someone else probably wrote the 'joke' for him.
