    Lenny Wilkens is my man right now. The guy knows the game. He had bad luck with injuries in Toronto. He's the winningest coach in history, his pride won't let him walk out a loser. I bet if we hire him he'll raise his intensity. My vote goes to Wilkens

    oh man Lenny Wilkens is horribly overrated. The only reason he won so many games is because he was around for so long. I wouldn't let him near this team for a million dollars.

    Lenny was great at least 20years ago! Not now remember the mess he made of Hakeem? [He doesnt coach the Big Mans Game].

    lenny not meant for this team.
    look at carter.....we got so many guys that need to be motivated

    plus....he's a laid back type of coach.....we need a coach that is strict and give out orders.....throw a chair or something in the locker room.

    Definitely not lenny..............Van gundy is the guy i like

    God no. Not Lenny. The only thing he's turned around is his car in the snow in Toronto.

    I guess no one remembers that he made the playoffs missing their leading scorer for most of the season and stll made it to the playoffs. I guess no one remembers that he never had a loaded team and still had successful campaigns. I like Wilkens more than I like JVG or Dunleavy . What about Cleamons though?

    Lenny Wilkens blows. The Raps gave up on him, and he is always out stratagized..... he seriously sucks the big one.

    Lee - Jim Cleamons is ready to be an NBA coach, but is HOU ready for the triangle? Maybe.

    Yeah I have to agree. Wilkens is very overrated. His legacy will be longevity not winning.

    Cleamons would be a good choice. LA wouldn't expose Jackson that way though... ;)

    The triangle offense is extremely difficult to install and I don't have confidence in the current Rocket offense to learn it let alone run it successfullly. Lots of teams have tried to install it and failed miserably.
