After a lengthy head coaching search, the Houston Rockets ultimately decided to hire Stephen Silas, for a number of reasons.
The Houston Rockets found themselves on the market for a head coach after Mike D’Antoni alerted the front office of his intentions to part ways with the franchise, following their season-ending defeat to the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Rockets would go on to have a rather extensive and lengthy search, which resulted in former Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Stephen Silas landing the head coaching job.
