I'm glad the Rockets are interviewing many coaches.

Quality post

 

You sold me bro, carry on Morey

 

I want to say Morey already pointed this out, at some point during the last few years, but I can't remember when. Radio interview?

Or maybe is was Lowe talking about coaching searches, in general...

 

True, but people are reacting mainly out of fear that they are actually considering some of these candidates. Last time we interviewed plenty and you know the Cassell's, Elie's, Hollins' will not even be considered for HC job. However, with the last time coming down to 3 candidates: Lawrence Frank, Dwayne Casey and McHale it is a legitimate concern that we will have a so-so coach again. All 3 back then and even now are not the best coaches. Names like D'antoni whom I presume Leslie must love because of his no defense, run and gun style, Hornacek and JVG scare me. The latter because we don't know how he will do after many years of no coaching, without his buddy Thibs and I'm not big on giving coaches a 2nd run on the same team in any sport.

 

Great post!

 

People are frustrated about the season and are going to be negative about everything.

 

i agree push more interviews don't rush this but then again its a scary thought to bring back Van Gundy the guy who couldn't get us out of the first round to me. id rather take the rumor of Kenny Smith then Van Gundy not to mention they have awesome assistant coaches i wouldn't mind giving a shot at a head coaching job i.e becky hammon or D'Antoni is alright but i really would take anyone who trained under pop for that matter they focus on a more balanced team and push more teamwork and will have no problem fixing a simple problem like chemistry which was not jbb fault. I honestly think with the right person our current roster could work no problem and if they make changed i'm sure they could help try and lour people here too. i'm not going to lie Houston is not that appealing to these star players.

 

I agree. If we rushed and hired JVG and then Vogel became available, Morey might be kicking himself.

 

Excellent post! Well stated and needed to be said.

 

Vogel.

 

The problem is that the people PICKING the coach have been pretty bad at it lately.

DD

 

they haven't picked a coach lately..

 

Im not mad at the number I'm made at some of the candidates though. Finch and D'antoni are not needed here.

 

McHale and JBB - were serious downgrades from JVG and Adelman.

DD

 

Very True.

 

OP repped. Glad it wasn't just a one-line post, like: "LOL stop complaining about the hiring process, you haters."

 

Mchale was picked lately?

JB wasn't picked...he gets the opportunity by default. They weren't going to rush to hire a HC. They would have been limited to those available at the time, most of which likely didn't want a mid-season job.

Point is, you don't know if they have learned from their mistakes or not, from the last time they really picked a coach. That was four and half years ago. That's a very long time. That was also a time when they needed to manage a lot of young guys, not compete for a ring.

This is what I thought of when I saw this thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlwwVuSUUfc

 

Also, they knew that more candidates would become available at the end of the season, and trying to hire a HC right after McHale was fired was premature.
