With so many head coaches burning up and flaming out this season -- Jeff Van Gundy, Dave Cowens, Dan Issel and Tim Floyd are out and Pat Riley, Scott Skiles, Maurice Cheeks, Larry Brown and Lon Kruger are simmering -- maybe it's time to shed a little light on a guy who actually loves the job.
  How about Rudy Tomjanovich? His Rockets have been utterly decimated by injuries this season. He has suffered through the worst losing streak of his career (15 games). In just three years he has gone from coaching three Hall-of-Famers (Charles Barkley, Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler) to coaching the likes of Kelvin Cato, Walt Williams and Oscar Torres.
  Yet, there isn't even the slightest hint that he is losing his mind, or his sense of humor.
  "Believe me, I feel blessed," he said. "This is a crazy, chaotic business and I've had a stable career as a player and as a coach."
