The New York Post has learned the Houston Rockets soon will announce Rick
Adelman as their new coach.

Adelman is a flawless choice for a team anchored by two superstars and
two or three other key components. Never a self-promoter or one to demand
players he must or must not have, he merely manages (never over-coaches)
the personnel on tap and gets them to the playoffs �C 14 out of 14 times
as coach of Portland and Sacramento.

Rick Adelman, the only coach the Rockets targeted or interviewed, agreed
to terms on a contract to become the Rockets next coach, a person with
knowledge of the Rockets' decision-making said on Monday.

Adelman will fly to Houston on Tuesday and be introduced on Wednesday.
