    Since RA peeves Clutch, it's time for the board to come up with a new nickname for our coach, Richard Leonard Adelman.

    Shall it be "RLA" and the team is now "Rick's Place?"

    Please feel free to chime in with a new handle for Rick.

    since we used JVG for Gundy, I think RA or Rick will be mentioned a lot

    his face reminds me a bit of Walt the Wizard Williams, so we could call him The Wizard...

    Dunno, it just seems too...too...familiar, for lack of a better way of expressing it.

    RLA is right for the text messaging generation.

    Did he have a nickname when he was a Rockets player? I can't recall one, but then my memory has deserted me in old age.

    Since so many people called Van Gundy "Gundy", I propose we call him "Elman".

    Or we could just call him by his actual name, but I guess that isn't cool enough.

    lets see how he does before we give him a nickname.

    also RLA isn't a nickname. It's someone's initials. just like JVG. or FU

    dntrwl called him "Radleman" in another thread. That's my favorite so far. :)

    Try saying it out loud, it's a lot of fun.

    Of course, when he loses, I'll be calling him a-hole.

    We could call him "babaloo"

    or Slick Rick, but that would be an insult to the great hip hop artist Slick Rick
