| Summary: | "This is a very difficult day for the entire Rockets organization," [Les Alexander] said in a statement. "I know this was a hard decision for [Rudy Tomjanovich], but I respect it. Rudy is a great championship coach. While I am saddened to see him move from the sideline, I look forward to working with him to make this a championship team again." [Carroll Dawson] said Tomjanovich would help the Rockets in scouting and evaluation. Tomjanovich, 54, took over as the Rockets' coach midway into the 1991-92 season and compiled a 503-397 record, easily becoming the winningest of the team's nine coaches. |
