It seems pretty obvious that former Houston Rockets coaching legend Rudy Tomjanovich should have been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame by now. There are several valid arguments behind why Rudy T should be in, starting with his Rockets team of the 1994-95 season being the lowest seed to ever win an NBA championship. Aside from that, Tomjanovich ranks 29th in all-time wins while coaching the fewest seasons of anyone ahead of him.
In addition, Rudy T’s two NBA titles are more than that of several Hall of Fame coaches, including Jerry Sloan, Don Nelson, former Rockets Coach Bill Fitch and Lenny Wilkens.
