While the Houston Rockets have yet to kick their head coaching search into high gear, the bookmakers are already taking bets on who the favorite is to take over in H-town, and the top two right now are Tyronn Lue and Sam Cassell according to Sportsbetting.ag.
Lue takes the top spot right now with 3-1 odds, while Cassell is close behind with 4-1 odds. Both coaches are currently assistants with the L.A. Clippers, so the Houston front office will not be scheduling interviews with either until the Clips are finished in the playoffs, though the rumor mill has already started with Cassell and the Rockets having mutual interest.
