What Other Coaching Options Are There?

Mchale doesn't desserve to be fired, nor will he be. I will say that I hope the next coach of the Houston Rockets is Mario Ellie. He is a Popovich disciple and do I even need to mention his relevance to us. He will be a good head coach one day, I just hope he comes home to do it.

 

If we miss out on the playoffs again after being so close, I think Les and Daryl start to think of replacing the HC.

But we will try to get Dwight Howard first this summer. Having McHale here hopefully will make it more attractive.

Then FO will need to decide. McHale is not the guy to bring you to championship contender status.

He keeps making the same mistakes. No misdirection on the Harden ISO-ball. Small ball in the clutch. Team is clueless on team defense. No offensive-defensive substitutions. Elementary mistakes. Again and again. From last year even.

 

I love Mchale. He’s tough enough to hold our players accountable but not so tough that he sucks the life out of everyone around him like Van Gundy. I like him more than Adelman because Adelman teams had ZERO defense!

 

And yet both of our better point guards decided to leave last season...

 

The way calvin murphy has been to the scrap heap in favor of a guy who played 3 or 4 seasons for us at the end of his career is an embarassment imo. I'm not even going to l get into how much better murphy was as an announcer...cuz you know that would be like clubbing baby seals

 

What has Kelvin Sampson done to deserve being an NBA head coach. As far as I can tell committing recruiting violations in the NBA doesn't help your team.

 

I want Jerry Sloan.

 

Dude...beverly played supreme? Stop it. Besides the complaining comes from the fact the he pulled this stupid small lineup crap last time with the exact frigging results. Omer had a double double in 22 minutes. How the hell did he not get to be on the floor?

 

R u a troll? You actually think our current defense is better than undet ra?! Lol

 

Here is the article:
Kevin McHale blames the lockout for not getting along with certain players

I know Lowry and Bud were two of the players. After the trade, Chase let it out that he & McHale had issues. There could be more but things like this are all hush hush.

Truth to be told, McHale is NOT a player coach; Adelman is!

 

Your definition of "decided to leave" is pretty interesting. Lowry was traded and Dragic wanted to come back, but could not agree with Houston on salary terms.

 

LOL at the suggestions for JVG and Adelman. I believe they had their share of "Fire..." threads as well.

 

Since we've become a dumping ground for Boston Celtics legends why not give Robert Parish a chance. The guy really wants to coach. or maybe Larry Bird?

Completely different team.... Our defense under RA was never great or good. Our defense last year under McHale was better than this year.

 

Honestly, if we had our "ideal" coach this year, how many more wins do yall think it would net us?

 

If Dragic really wanted to come back, he could have taken out the player option in his contract... if super stars are willing to get less money to play on a team the WANTED why can't dragic? I mean its not like he can't negotiate for a higher salary to compensate with that player option... everyone in the nba knows that only special players get player option...

It was a known fact that lowry wanted out... its either you trade him of waste 5mill a year on a player who does not want to play...

 

Seriously.... it's amazing how this forum has essentially wanted to fire every head coach during the last decade. People just don't understand.

 

Adelman is a type of coach you can build around. He's a long term coach that should've been with us.

If a team wins 22 games consecutively , hats off to the coach.

From wikipedia: In the 2007–08 NBA season, despite Yao suffering a season-ending injury for the second time in three years,[102] the Rockets won 22 consecutive games, which is the second longest winning streak in NBA history.[103] Houston finished their season 55–27,[104] but were eliminated for the second year in row by the Jazz in the first round of the playoffs, 4 games to 2. In 2008–2009 the Rockets ended the season 53–29, reaching the number 5 spot. With McGrady out with season-ending surgery the Rockets were still able to get out of the first round, beating the Portland Trail Blazers 4 games to 2. The series win was their first since 1997.[105] However Yao Ming suffered yet another season-ending injury, this time a hairline fracture in his left foot during Game 3 of their second round series against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Rockets lost the series 4–3. In the Trail Blazers series, Dikembe Mutombo injured his knee, which forced him to retire after 18 seasons in the NBA

 

I think we could get 4-5 more wins, which would land us safely in the 6th seed... not like now where we are dangerously fighting for 7th and 8th seed with jazz and lakers...

 

So the ideal coach is ONLY worth an extra 4-5 wins. Interesting....
