    Your "inside sources" got it wrong. Adelman's contract was not renewed.

    All the players had vouched over the past week to force management to renew his contract. They didn't.

    He wasn't fired. Talk in ROX forums say that this was Rick's call.

    I'm sure Rick's having a stiff drink right now over this news.

    I thought Adleman wanted to retire this year. I doubt the Rockets really "fired" him it was probably more him not wanting to come back. The rockets would be stupid to fire a coach that has somehow made a horrible team into a team that greatly overachieved.

    Rick kept a keg in his office when he coached in Portland.

    Thats why I said he poured a stiff drink to this. I've heard stories that the Adelmans love to booze and its a shit show at their house during the holidays.

    Rick's a great coach! I'm sure another team will hire him if he still wants to coach.

    Just out of curiosity, could a team even do that?

    Laura is (was?) very nice and didn't drink much...at least when we were hanging out. There, I dropped a NEP reference AND a name.

    I don't know the rest of the family.

    Hyperbole aside, if you actually had a choice this summer as to who would coach the team going forward, would you really pick Nate over Rick?

    No, not at all. In fact, while I wasn't particularly against McMillan's extension, now I wish it hadn't happened since it obviously means Portland won't inquire after Adelman. My post was just a tongue-in-cheek post about my desire to have Adelman as Blazers coach, not a sarcastic mocking of anyone.
