After the departure of Mike D’Antoni, the Houston Rockets are in search of a new head coach. Is Sam Cassell just the man for the job?

Recently, Mike D’ Antoni informed the Houston Rockets that he will not be coming back next season. Reports now suggest that the team and Sam Cassell have a mutual interest when it comes to filling the position. Cassell, of course, was a member of “Clutch City,” a team that went back-to-back in 1994-1995.

Cassell got his first start at assistant coach in 2009 with the Washington Wizards under head coach Flip Saunders.
