Jeff Van Gundy was dismissed as Rockets coach on Friday, less than two weeks
after the Rockets' first-round loss to the Utah Jazz.
After initial ambivalence about returning to the team as coach, Van Gundy
had made his desire to be back clear. The Rockets, however, had already
begun an extensive interview process with former Kings, Warriors and Trail
Blazers coach Rick Adelman who is considered the only candidate to replace
Van Gundy.
Van Gundy had told the Rockets that he would not object to the team looking
into its coaching options.
On Thursday, Rockets general manager Daryl Morey offered Van Gundy another[36m [m
position with the team, expected to be in a consulting role. Van Gundy has
turned down that role.
Van Gundy was 430-318 in 11 seasons as an NBA coach, 182-146 in four seasons
with the Rockets. He has a 44-44 postseason record, losing in the first
round to the Lakers in 2004, the Mavericks in 2005 and the Jazz this season.
Their trip to the 2004 post season was their first since 1999. The Rockets'[34m [m
52-win season this year was their best since 1996-1997
