Kevin McHale Rockets Head Coach

So Kevin McHale was finally hired as head coach of your Houston Rockets.  I know 90% of you are going to crap on this hire.  The truth is none of us no how good Kevin McHale will do as a head coach.  His interim stints with the Minnesota T-Wolves were exactly that...interim stints.  He was a below average GM who set the T-Wolves franchise back when they had to forfeit five 1st round draft picks.  If the Rockets were hiring their head coach based soley on "coaching skins" on the wall, than Lawrence Frank would have been the right guy.

Les Alexander and Daryl Morey are sold on Kevin McHale, and that's good enough for me.  Les has hired 2 coaches (JVG, Adelman) and 1 GM (Morey) since he took over the club in 1994.  I think Les Alexander has earned the benefit of the doubt.

Just in case you forgot about Kevin McHale's playing career...



Are you willing to give Les and Daryl the benefit of the doubt on the McHale hire or do you think this is doomed to failure?
