Tomjanovich, who enters his 32nd
consecutive season with the Rockets, has
posted a 432-304 regular season mark
(.587) and 51-39 playoff record (.567)
in his 10 seasons as head coach. The
Rockets have won both of their NBA
Championships during his tenure and the
club has made the playoffs in seven of
these seasons.
Tomjanovich has received many
well-deserved accolades as a head coach,
including being named the head coach of
the Western Conference team for the 1997
NBA All-Star Game. He also was selected
The Sporting News NBA Coach of the Year
(voted by coaches) for the 1992-93
season, coming within one vote of
winning the NBA Coach of the Year honors
- the closest vote in the history of the
award. He has three times been named the
NBA’s Coach of the Month (April 1993,
November 1993 and November 1996).
After
enjoying such success on the sidelines
with the Rockets, Rudy Tomjanovich
gained international glory in the summer
of 2000 by winning a gold medal for the
United States in the Olympic Games.
Tomjanovich guided the United States
Men’s Basketball Team to an undefeated
record in Australia. In 1998,
Tomjanovich was first selected as the
head coach of the USA Basketball senior
national team - becoming just the fourth
NBA coach to earn that honor (along with
Chuck Daly, Don Nelson and Lenny Wilkens).
He then spent that summer leading the
USA team to a bronze medal at the World
Championship of Basketball before being
named the Olympic coach.
