What’s going on with the Rockets?
(TLDR: It’s not as crazy as it looks. It’s probably not crazy at all.)
First came an ominous post season silence, then a faintly jolly press conference with Dareyl Morey and Mike D’Antoni, offering signs he would remain the head coach.
Now we are informed via Twitter that Tilman Fertitta, rather than Daryl Morey, took the decision to pick up Mike D’Antoni’s option for next season. So MDA will run it back.
D’Antoni’s assistant coaches, it appears, will not. So far erstwhile defensive saviour Jeff Bzedelik, Roy Rogers and player development coach and Harden trainer, Irv Roland, are all gone.
