Rockets start coaching search with Stephen Silas and Wes Unseld Jr.

We’ve had a lot of rumors to this point about the coaching search for the Houston Rockets, but no concrete info about interviews, but now a few names from reliable sources are starting to drift in, with Houston set to interview Stephen Silas of the Dallas Mavericks and Wes Unseld Jr. from the Denver Nuggets.

Houston is starting to receive permission to interview assistants for vacant head coaching job, including Denver’s Wes Unseld Jr., and Dallas’ Stephen Silas, sources tell ESPN.

Silas was rumored to be Houston GM Daryl Morey’s second choice before Mike D’Antoni was hired in the summer of 2016, so it looks like he’s getting another crack at it.
