Finch was plucked by the Rockets in 2009 from Europe where he had been coaching for the past 12 seasons and installed him as their D-League head coach that same year. He was the D-League Coach of the Year in 2010 and stayed in Grand Rapids with the Rockets’ affiliate until 2011 when he was called up to Kevin McHale‘s staff in Houston.
