Sounds Like Kevin McHale Got The Rockets Job

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports via sources, "after a strong final push in the interview process, McHale has emerged as the frontrunner for Rockets coaching job."

Alex Kennedy of HOOPSWORLD also offered this on Sunday: "It sounds like McHale will be the Houston Rockets' next coach. I'd be surprised if they went in a different direction at this point (ESPN)."

Good news for the Celtics as Lawrence Frank interviewed for this job. Obviously I would rather Frank stay with the Celtics, as it would be two years in a row the Celtics would be looking for a lead assistant coach. Also, who knows maybe McHale can do us more favors like he did when he gave us KG.

Looks Like Celtics Are Losing Another Assistant Coach

"Celtics assistant coach Lawrence Frank interviewed for the vacant Rockets head coaching position for a second time, according to the local FOX affiliate in Houston. Frank, Mavericks assistant Dwane Casey and Celtics Hall of Famer Kevin McHale are reportedly the three finalists to get the job (WEEI)."

The Celtics were the top defensive team in the NBA this year, so it's not shocking that Frank is being pursued by another team. This happens when you have success, because everyone wants to copy you. Look at what happens to the Patriots year in and year out. Luckily Doc Rivers is staying and has like 200 assistant coaches, so I'm not too worried about it.

Rick Adelman Out As Coach Of The Rockets

Speaking of a guy with an unlucky coaching tenure. Figuring he had to deal with Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming constantly being injured he did a real good job. Rick went 193-135 in four seasons with the Rockets. The .588 winning percentage was the highest among the 11 full-time coaches the franchise has had. Adelman led the Rockets to their only playoff series victory since 1997. His career record is 945-616 and ranks eighth in all-time wins.

The reason why this is important? Because Doc is most likely going to leave after this year and so it's fun to look at plan Bs. We've heard the name Jerry Sloan, Lawrence Frank and I think you can add Rick Adelman to that too.
