Late Sunday night, Houston Rockets fans received a surprise #WojBomb from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski that top Rockets assistant coach, Jeff Bzdelik, is retiring effective immediately. This is without a doubt a blow to the team and their prospects for this season.
Normally, losing an assistant coach isn’t that big of a blow, however, most assistant coaches don’t provide the boost that Bzdelik provided to this team. He was the mastermind behind a massive defensive overhaul for the past two years.
Bzdelik had a long, storied career as a coach both at the NBA level and the college level.
