From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hilton Koch is the owner of Hilton Furniture, a retail store in Houston. Koch was the owner of the Houston Comets of the WNBA before they folded.
Koch bought the Comets from Rockets owner Les Alexander in January 2007. Shortly after the purchase, team control was handed over to the WNBA. Hilton Koch sustained annual losses of over $4 million and was unable to keep the team competitive.[1] The league shut the Comets team down entirely in December 2008.[2]
