GM Rafael Stone says Rockets will cast wide net in coaching search
Rockets general manager Rafael Stone said the way his phone was ringing Monday indicates a number of people find Houston to be an attractive situation for Stephen Silas' successor.On the first day of the Rockets’ coaching search, general manager Rafael Stone’s phone was ringing enough for him to believe he can land the person the next stage of the rebuild will need. The heavy lifting comes next.
“I think this is a very attractive situation,” Stone said. “Based on my phone ringing today, a lot of other people think it is, too. “One of the reasons I think there are really good candidates is because there are people that I’m aware of who have been very successful in the NBA as head coaches,” Stone said. “They’re available, or at least they’re not under contract with another team right now. That’s interesting. I do think there’s validity and importance in putting out a wider net so you get to know people, so you don’t rule anyone out. I think we will interview people who don’t have head coaching experience.
