The New York Post has learned the Houston Rockets soon will announce
Rick Adelman as their new coach.
Adelman is a flawless choice for a team anchored by two superstars and two or
three other key components. Never a self-promoter or one to demand players he
must or must not have, he merely manages (never over-coaches) the personnel on
tap and gets them to the playoffs – 14 out of 14 times as coach of Portland and
Sacramento.
Rick Adelman, the only coach the Rockets targeted or interviewed, agreed to
terms on a contract to become the Rockets next coach, a person with knowledge of
the Rockets' decision-making said on Monday.
Adelman will fly to Houston on Tuesday and be introduced on Wednesday.
