Coach assesses hand Rockets have dealt <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">For at least four seasons, most of the Rockets have been in Houston without Jeff Van Gundy. But when they get together this week for the start of his first training camp, Van Gundy will have studied every detail available on all things Rockets. With only a hint of prompting, Van Gundy can cite everything from the Rockets' records in close games the past few seasons to their medical histories.

I'm desperate to win again."
