After appearing in the conference finals last year, the Houston Rockets were expected to be one of the top teams heading into this season. After a 4-7 start, the Rockets have decided enough is enough and opted to fire head coach Kevin McHale, according to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski and CBS Sports' Ken Berger. Per Wojnarowski, assistant coach J.B. Bickerstaff will take over as head coach on an interim basis.
McHale has been the Rockets head coach since the start of the 2011-2012 season and actually has the highest win percentage in Hoston's coaching history with a record of 323-193.
