Rockets: McHale fired

[Blake]

Yeah that's pretty crazy.

[Mori Chu]

Bush league move for a bush league franchise.

[hitmanyr2k]

I hope Mark Jackson is the replacement. The sooner he's off the broadcasting mic the better.

[Spurs9]

Not a bad payday for 3 weeks work..

[Robz4000]

As much as I'd like to see that, I think it'd be funnier if Scotty Brooks took over. Then again, Bible Thumper with Bible Kemp could be a pretty great show. Wasn't Jackson a pedo too?

meh

He will be mic'd up during games

"believe in God and in each other! make stops! share the ball!"

Yeah just pick your poison

Being mic'd up you'd only hear him for maybe a 30 second stretch during the game instead of the whole game. If he was mic'd up as coach and he said "Mama there goes that man" I'd probably lose it.

[JamStone]

Where is Tom Thibodeau? What's he doing?

If he's available and looking to return to the NBA, I would assume he'd be on the short list of candidates.

[Splits]

From Woj's column, sounds like they're giving Bickerstaff Jr. a shot at earning the job.

[Robz4000]

Is he any good Rocketfan?

[SpursforSix]

is he available to run the point guard position?

[Chris]

Is that the same Bernie Bickerstaff that took over for the Lakers when Pringles got sacked?

[whitemamba]

if thibbs comes, west should be concerned.

[SPM]

Wont make any difference. Now we wait for D 2oo8 to come in here and say how much this will reshape the team and get them to the Finals.

As former assistant there under JVG I would assume he would be a top choice. Doesnt seem like a anlytics guy though ...

[gambit1990]

i just remember bickerstaff never getting anywhere with charlotte. but they're charlotte so...

[gambit1990]

i hope they get mark jackson so i don't have to hear him call spurs games. or any games for that matter.

[baseline bum]

God damnit, it was always reassuring every year thinking they're going nowhere with McHale.

[jeebus]

Scotty Brooks or Thibs would be perfect. Brooks because he's a re when it comes to coaching and Thibs because he would run Harden into the ground until his ACL explodes or sit in him in the 4th if he doesn't play defense.

His son.

[Mikeanaro]

But the starters said 3 weeks ago he was going to be Coach Of The Year.

Probably true on both accounts If Thibs can't get Harden to play consistent defense no one can.

[HarlemHeat37]

Thibs would be pretty shocking, tbh..Dwight has already had issues with a hard-ass coach, and I can't imagine Harden buying into his philosophy of consistently giving 100%..

Also, Morey seems like he wants a puppet coach, which Thibodeau wouldn't accept..

Scott Brooks seems perfect for them..
