It was announced yesterday that the Houston Rockets were making several changes to their coaching staff for this upcoming season. Mark Berman reported that assistants Will Weaver and Jeff Hornacek will not return for the 2022-2023 season.
I’m not that surprised about Hornacek, and to be honest, one of the most hated players from the 1990s Utah Jazz rivalry had no business ever being in this squad to begin with, but I’m a little more surprised about Weaver, who is highly regarded in NBA circles and was gaining some traction as a potential head coaching candidate in the past.
