In some highly disappointing news, Houston Rockets ex-All-Star player and two-time NBA championship-winning coach Rudy Tomjanovich was inexplicably left off of the group of finalists for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
In fact, Rudy T’s candidacy is actually going backwards, as he was a finalist the previous two seasons and didn’t even make the cut down this year.
Rudy T’s snub becomes perhaps even more baffling when you find out that former Rockets head coach Bill Fitch, who led Houston to the 1986 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics in a six-game defeat, did make the group of finalists.
