"CD has meant so much to the Rockets and the NBA," owner Leslie Alexander
said. "He has such a great way of dealing with people and producing results.
Over the past few years, he has transformed an older team into one with great
promise. He has shown so much loyalty to this city and this franchise."
Dawson's most recent moves include the drafting of Yao Ming with the top overall pick in 2002 and the hiring of former New York Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy to replace Tomjanovich following the 2002-03 season.
