Quora - Daryl Morey Session - "Why did the Rockets fire McHale?"

TL;DR:

Impulsive panic firing + PR.
Hopefully next on the chopping block is JB.

 

Because Les decided to.

 

McHale was the only coach who really let Smoove be Smoove and it paid off for us.

Smoove is not the same man he was. He is at his absolute best, when he plays with confidence.

I remember there were moments last year when he was missing three after three but just continued to launch them as if nothing was wrong (and when they started to go in, then watch out). He had a short memory. He just doesn't seem the same.
