We’ve got two videos from yesterday’s press conference announcing Rick Adelman as the new head coach of the Houston Rockets. You can either watch the abbreviated version below, or the full length video on NBA.com by clicking here.

It was music to my ears to hear Adelman say he thinks Yao can do some other things (like shoot from the outside), that he can become a very good passer, and wants to help him (and McGrady) get easier shots. Hallelujiah!

Now maybe we’ll get to see again the flashes of brilliance (nifty passing) that Yao showed when he was a rookie in the Rudy Tomjanovich era. Forget flashes…I think we’ll see it much more of the time now that Adelman is coach. Maybe as much as we see Tim Duncan do it today, or Bill Walton in the past.
