The decision to fire Kevin McHale on Wednesday morning was pitched as a move
that no member of the Houston Rockets' brass wanted to make.

In his report breaking the story, Yahoo Sports NBA columnist Adrian
Wojnarowski referred to it as a "grueling decision for the Rockets, who
extended McHale a year ago and think the world of him as a man." Rockets
owner Leslie Alexander cast it as a last-ditch effort to salvage a season
that had begun with championship expectations before spiraling into a 4-7
start, according to Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle: "I’ve never
seen my team play as poorly and with less effort. I’m not attributing it to
the coach. I had to do something."
General manager Daryl Morey struck the same tone, according to Kristie
Rieken of The Associated Press: "The team was not responding to Kevin McHale
and we had to make the tough call." Rockets players, from stars James
Harden and Dwight Howard to contributors Corey Brewer and Terrence Jones,
spoke well of the ousted coach who led them to the Western Conference finals
just six months ago.
Evidently, though, all the grim countenances and regretful tones didn't
register as especially genuine with McHale's wife, Lynn, who took to Twitter
on Thursday to register her discontent with both the firing and its
aftermath: |
