Rudy T suddenly re-discovered his brain!
Good... He was always one of the few things keeping me from vehemently rooting against them.
That was a bad fit from the get go, regardless of what spin they put on it. Rudy T, a class individual, getting in bed with an organization that lets an alleged rapist, mal-content, selfish, egotistical, delusional, human being control the organization.
This makes it much easier rooting against the Lakers once again! I hope all is well with Rudy T.
I love the turmoil over there. I just hope that it's not anything serious. Espn said that health was an issue, but not the only one. Rudy is such a stand up coach. I wish he never would have went to the Lakers in the first place. Kobe doesn't deserve someone of that caliber. Kobe wants so much control over there, maybe he should just coach the team as well.
Kobe as Player/Coach!
who's replacing him?
Why would he step down, the Lakers have done about as well as anyone expected. All we heard during the off season was that the Lakers would be right there near the last seed to make the playoffs and that's what's happened.
They are what, seventh right now with eight and nine breathing down their neck at something like a half game behind, that sounds about right.....
Either way Rudy T belongs in the Houston front office and he knows it....

Tomjanovich reportedly will resign
Lakers coach has been ill, but exact reason unknown

LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles Lakers coach Rudy Tomjanovich, in his first year with the team, will resign after the team's game Tuesday night for unspecified reasons, ESPN reported.
Tomjanovich missed Los Angeles' game against Charlotte on Sunday night because of a stomach virus.
Assistant coach Frank Hamblen, the only holdover from former coach Phil Jackson's staff era, guided the team against the Bobcats. He will become the interim coach, ESPN said.
Hamblen’s other experience as a head coach came with the Milwaukee Bucks in 1991-92, when Del Harris was sidelined by stomach problems. The Bucks were 23-42 under Hamblen.
"He's still not feeling real well but he's feeling a little better,' Hamblen told the Pasadena Star-News. "It's been a tough couple days. ... He did watch our game and he thought we played well and he was proud of the way the guys played. He said he enjoyed watching the game.'
Tomjanovich, who won a pair of NBA championships with the Houston Rockets, returned to the coaching ranks this season after recovering from bladder cancer.
Espn is saying that it's not a relapse of the cancer. They're saying that it's partly health related, and partly because of the play of his team.
It's health related. Kobe is a virus.
Wow!
Has to be Kobe related.
Great we have to play them with a new coach.
Teams always play the hardest when they have the new coach their first game.
Maybe Rudy knows that the ship is sinking -- by the time the season ends, Rudy's time with the Lakers may make him look like the modern Red Auerbach (okay, so it's hyperbole....)
I hope that Rudy is well. He's a classy guy who deserves nothing but good, given all of the bad things he's overcome in his life.
The Lakers must be gripping that George Karl was just snapped up. Then again, maybe they can hire Doug Collins now, and Collins can get his chance to kiss Kobe's ass on a daily basis.
Phil Jackson will be the next coach.
. . . of the Knicks.
Naw -- Phil only takes jobs promising a legitimate and immediate chance to win the le.Phil Jackson will be the next coach.
Well..I wish Rudy T the best....
Now, all of you ass pirartes who keep on saying it's Kobe's fault need to wake up...
I'm glad he's gone...seriously...the team has in my opinion underperformed with him as coach. His rotations are suspect, plus his love for the 3 ball make me sick. Even with Kobe out, all they run is Iso plays and everyone stands around. He's a good player coach on a personal level, but X's and O's he's pretty poor.
Awww I was just going to post that we now will get to hear about how much better the Lakers will be and how they will win the le now that they won't be held back by their coach! Damnit!!!
Oh and a new head coach has been named too....
rudy coaching ablility was overrated
he lets his stars run the team
he really is not that great
why dont they end the bull and name kobe head coach?
Don't forget General Manager.
