　　卡洛•道森

　　篮球事务总经理

　　Carroll Dawson enters his 25th season with the Rockets and his ninth as the General Manager for the franchise. Prior to moving into the front office, Dawson worked as an assistant coach under four Rockets head coaches, aiding Del Harris from 1980-83, Bill Fitch from 1983-88, Don Chaney from 1988-92 and Rudy Tomjanovich from 1992-96.

　　卡洛•道森进入火箭队25个赛季并且作为火箭队经理9年。在进入核心管理层前，道森担任了火箭队4位主教练的助理教练，从1980-83年辅佐戴尔•哈里斯，从1983-88年辅佐比尔•菲奇，从1988-92年辅佐唐•沙内，从1992-96年辅佐鲁迪•汤姆甲诺维奇。

　　Affectionately known as “CD,” Dawson oversees all player personnel activity for the Rockets. His duties include managing the entire scouting department, which includes an analysis of athletes at both the amateur and professional level. Dawson deals with free agency issues, trade inquiries and the assessment of the team’s needs.

　　被大家亲切地称呼为“CD”的道森管理火箭队所有运动员及相关职员。他的职责包括对业余和职业水平的运动员的分析。道森处理自由代理问题，商业调查和评估。

　　Dawson is recognized as one of the top executives in the NBA. Since moving to the Rockets front office job in 1996, he has shown the ability to both bolster a playoff contender with veterans and acquire emerging talent as part of a youth movement. In his first few years, he made trades for Charles Barkley and Scottie Pippen to give a team led by Hakeem Olajuwon even more experience. Dawson then helped the Rockets acquire several young talents in the following years, including Cuttino Mobley, Steve Francis and Yao Ming.

　　道森被公认为NBA顶级执行者之一。自从1996年转入火箭核心管理层以来，他就显示了处理平衡老队员之间的竞争和培养新人之间关系的能力。在刚开始的几年中，他就用巴克利和皮蓬交换来了更具经验的奥拉朱旺；在随后的几年中，他又协助火箭队得到了几名极具潜力的年轻队员，包括莫布里、弗朗西斯和姚明。

　　This summer, Dawson changed the face of the franchise by obtaining one of the NBA’s top players in Tracy McGrady. The 25-year-old two-time scoring champion was acquired from Orlando in a multi-player deal that included Francis and Mobley. Dawson has now given Houston a nucleus of Yao and McGrady, two players 25 years or younger with a combined six NBA All-Star Game selections. In addition, Dawson has provided support to this talented duo with the offseason additions of hard-working veterans Juwan Howard, Dikembe Mutombo, Bob Sura and Charlie Ward.

　　这个夏季，道森又得到了一名NBA的顶级球员麦克格雷迪。这名25岁的两届得分王是用几名休斯顿的球员(其中包括弗朗西斯和莫布里)从奥兰多交换来的。现在道森赋予了火箭队新的核心，那就是两名不到25岁的球员――姚明、麦克格雷迪和6名NBA全明星赛候选者的组合。

　　Dawson holds the distinction of being the only person on all four coaching staffs that led the Rockets to their NBA Finals appearances, as Houston advanced to the championship series in 1981, 1986, 1994 and 1995. Dawson is known throughout the NBA for his work with frontcourt players and has also been credited with teaching Olajuwon his infamous jump hook. Dawson has coached many NBA All-Stars throughout his years with the Rockets, including Elvin Hayes, Moses Malone, Ralph Sampson and Tomjanovich.

　　道森是火箭队唯一一名亲历火箭四次闯入NBA总决赛(1981、1986、1994和1995)的教练组成员。道森教授了很多NBA明星，艾尔文•海斯、摩西•马龙、桑普森、汤姆甲诺维奇，以及奥拉朱旺的勾手投篮也得益于道森的传授。

　　Dawson’s knowledge of the game has not been limited to the NBA. Prior to the inaugural 1997 WNBA season, Dawson was commissioned by owner Leslie Alexander to help assemble the first Houston Comets team. He guided the efforts to bring Sheryl Swoopes and Cynthia Cooper to Houston and then drafted Janeth Arcain in the WNBA Elite Draft. Finally, he worked with Alexander to hire three-time WNBA Coach of the Year Van Chancellor. Currently, Dawson is Chancellor’s top advisor as the Comets Executive Vice President of Basketball.

　　道森不仅局限于NBA的工作。在1997年首届WNBA赛季开始前，道森就被老板来斯利•亚利山大委以重任――组织第一支休斯顿彗星队。他通过努力将名将斯乌普斯和辛西娅•库博招进队中，又在选秀中将新秀阿肯收入帐下；最后，他与亚利山大共同聘任了教练万•钱斯勒(他3次被评为WNBA年度最佳教练)。最近，作为彗星队篮球事务执行副总裁的道森又成为了钱斯勒的高级顾问。

　　A native Texan, Dawson hails from Alba, a town with a population of 200 that sits about 75 miles east of Dallas. As a 6-foot-5 high school center, he led Alba High School to a 44-3 record as a senior. He then went on to win Junior College All-America honors at Paris Junior College (Texas) under Head Coach Boyd Converse. After two seasons at Paris, Dawson moved on to Baylor University, where he led Bill Henderson’s Baylor Bears in scoring and rebounding in each of his two seasons. In 1960, he averaged 16.4 points as a senior to earn All-Southwest Conference honors.

　　地道的德克萨斯人，道森出生于距达拉斯以东75英里的一个仅有200人的小镇，阿尔巴。6尺5身高的他，作为学校球队的中锋，为阿尔巴中学创造了44胜3负的战绩；之后他又带领德克萨斯帕里斯高中球队获得全美高中比赛胜利。在拜乐大学，他在1960年创造了平均每场16.4分的记录，获得全美大学西南区的胜利。

　　In 1963, he returned to Baylor as an assistant to Head Coach Bill Menefee. He later succeeded Menefee as head coach in 1973, remaining in that position for more than three seasons. After spending two years as a scout for the Dallas Cowboys at the call of executive Gil Brandt, Dawson started a career as a salesman for Converse Shoe Company.

　　1963年，道森成为拜乐大学篮球队的助理教练；1973年任主教练，执教了3个赛季；然后，他做了两年达拉斯牛仔队的球探；之后他开始了康威鞋业公司推销员的职业。

　　Dawson has been honored with induction into the Paris Junior College Hall of Fame in 1991, the Baylor University Hall of Fame in 1998, the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame in 2001, and the Texas Sports Hall of Fame last year.

　　道森于1991年进入帕里斯高中名人堂，1998年进入拜乐大学名人堂，2001年进入德克萨斯篮球教练员委员会名人堂，去年进入了德克萨斯体育名人堂。

　　One of the top golfers in the NBA, Dawson resides in Houston with his wife, Sharon. Sharon has a daughter, Elizabeth and a son, Michael.

　　作为NBA顶级的高尔夫球手之一，道森现与妻子莎伦、女儿伊丽莎白和儿子迈克尔住在休斯顿。
