Kevin McHale, returning to TNT, says defense key for Rockets

Former Rockets coach Kevin McHale will return to television as an analyst with Turner Sports' TNT and NBA TV networks, the company said Tuesday.

McHale, who was fired early last season after four years with the Rockets, will resume his role on NBA TV's Tuesday night "Fan Night" games with Ernie Johnson, Chris Webber and Greg Anthony. He will also work selected games on TNT.

McHale last worked for Turner from 2009-11 and said his experience coaching the Rockets will help him provide new insight into the intricacies of building a successful team.

"I did learn a few things in Houston," he said.
