Rudy stepping down??

I just heard on fox 26 breaking news that he might be stepping down. I didn't catch the whole thing so I don't know if it was for health reasons or something else.

Rudy steping down!!!!

Just reported on Fox 26 that Rudy is likely to be stepping down as coach!!!!

Awesome news!

I wish him the best in his recovery from his cancer, but it's time for another coach for this team.

YESSS!!!!!!!!!!! Let's hope to God that this is true.

Hello Jeff Van Gundy in Htown.

That being said I hope Rudy recovers completely. We will never forget his efforts in bringing us our only 2 championships.

No, Doc Rocket wasn't wrong - he briefly posted a thread yesterday about it before that thread & all others mentioning it were deleted... Guess we now know why.

Looks like Doc wanted Mark Berman to have the exclusive, lol!

If true, big news...

From a basketball standpoint, i hope that this is indicative of the fact that the organization feels it has found a better option, and not just an addition by subtraction mentality.

From a personal standpoint, I seriously hope that this is a basketball move, and not predicated upon a worsening/not improving health situation.

Well, half the Rockets fans might get their wish...Now, Steve just needs to die in a flaming car wreck and the other half will be happy...

Yes, as fans we're kind of between Scylla and Charybdis; it's better for Rudy's basketball legacy to have to retire for health reasons, but it's worse for his personal well being, and vice versa.

I'd take Larry Brown - I just can't get the JVG pic of him hugging Ewing's(?) leg out of my head...

I bet the assisants are sad and worried.
