This is the second assistant coach the Rockets have parted with in less than 7 days, after firing well-regarded defensive assistant Jeff Bzdelik last week.

Rogers is also a defensive guy, filling in for Bzdelik at the beginning of the last year when Bzdelik was still retired, so the Rockets have some serious work to do to replenish their coaching staff, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.
