    Couldn't quit without losing major dollars. Was part of agreement from his modified coaching contract after he started having problems 3 months in to a 5 year $30 million deal. They've basically held him hostage for the last dozen years.

    I hope it's not some health issue. I love Rudy T. I remember The Punch. I have a Rudy T bobblehead that has the "never underestimate speech audio"
    I was very surprised & saddened when he went to the Lakers, I didn't know how I was gonna cheer against him. Thankfully that only lasted about half a season, I know he was still with them but I didn't have to see him on the Laker bench. If he is healthy It would be great to see him active with the Rockets again. He is a true Houston Sports Legend.

    He's only three years older than Mike D' Antoni. Surprising.

    Doesn't matter what role, just get him involved with the organisation again!
