Houston Rockets coaching rumors have been heating up these last few days with Mike D’Antoni’s contract coming up at season’s end. First, it was a blast from the past with ex-Rockets assistant Tom Thibodeau being mentioned as a possible replacement, and now another name that’s being tossed out there is former Houston head coach Jeff Van Gundy, who was Thibodeau’s boss for their stint with the Rockets from 2004-2007.
Van Gundy had a 182-146 record during his time as head coach in H-town, and his team made the playoffs in three out of four seasons, though they never made it past the first round.
