The Houston Rockets and Rick Adelman have decided to part ways. Sources say Adelman and the Rockets management weren’t on the same page. Although the Rockets have missed the playoffs the last two years, they are still a team that will draw plenty of interest from coaches due to their nucleus of young talent. Here are some top Houston Rockets coaching candidates:
Mike Brown
The former coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers would bring a defensive focus to Houston.
Mike Budenholzer
The top assistant for the San Antonio Spurs is considered a rising star in the coaching ranks.
Lawrence Frank
The former coach of the New Jersey Nets has been impressive as an assistant coach for the Boston Celtics.
Elston Turner
The current assistant coach for the Rockets has interviewed numerous times for head coaching gigs elsewhere.
Mario Elie
The former Rockets player has a lot of experience at various stops as an assistant coach.
