[video] Shaq in H-town-Comments on Rox and coach search

Oh, please. Not peanut-head.

 

I"d give Brian Shaw a shot. He can coach. I'd also give some young blood with some drive and work ethic a shot too. Why not Mario Elie y'know? He's been around the block. He knows offense and defense. As long as he doesn't do what Clyde did when he was coaching the Houston Cougars ...what a mess that was.

 

He seems to respect Yao now.

 

sweet, didn't know shaq had a place in my hometown. his comments were cool, though rick adelman is good still.

 

he has for quite awhile, it's nothing new at all

 

Yea, let's hire Brian Shaw. That's really a guy that can demand McGrady's respect.

 

"Before you succeed you must first learn to fail"

He aint called the Aristotle of Bball for nothing.

It's going on my sig!

 

Among new coaches. Tommy T deserve a shot

 

mann thats awesome, hes working on his doctorite and could be a cop by now if he wanted, i think thats pretty damn awesome since im going into law enforcement

 

After the Avery Johnson failed experiment I don't want another player/type coach especially one whose career ended in last 5 years or so. Maybe some player from the early 90's late 80's. I say no to any player younger than Mutombo as head coach for this team.

 

Avery Johnson failed?

 

Avery Johnson failed experiment? HUH?

 

Avery Johnson won 67 games this year and reached a championship last year. The Rockets should fail like that sometime.

 

I hope your joking..

 

Shaq had a problem with retreads?

Could have fooled me when he stabbed Stan Van Gundy in the back to get Pat Riley to coach...

One might call Pat Riley a retread.

 

Yeah the Mavs coach whose team reached the mount everest of chokes. For 2 years he made everyone think this team was mentally focused and tough but we all saw them unravel like a bunch of school girls. He had everyone convinced that he is was shaping them in his image and now they were a refection of him. So naturally the guy should take the blame for a total mental collapse by his team. Mavs weren't beaten because out having inferior players or talent they just choked and nothing can excuse a team and the coach for that.

 

Hilltopper,

Thanks for the footage.

I'm surprised that Shaq would open gyms that didn't have basketball courts. That's pretty lame. Plus he said it was open 24 hours, and it's not.

 

Imo, shaq's words are as meaningful as a can full of fart. Its going to be hard to demand respect from a superstar type of player if you don't have the "credentials" or the "name" yet so hiring them might be risky. But I do agree that brian shaw's a good coach. He did things on that laker bench under phil's wings.

On the side note, your going for law enforcement too brieflyspeaking? That's nice. I'm going for the lapd. You?

 

Shaq has such a light-hearted attitude and he's funny. One of my top 10 sports stars I would dig hanging out with for the night.
