Assistant coach since 2009, and currently on the Sixers bench, Sam Cassel will he finally get a job as a “head coach”? The story would be beautiful if it was the Rockets since the Houston Chronicle reports that the former Houston point guard will speak with Houston franchise executives. He obtained permission to meet them, and it would obviously be a strong message if he succeeded Stephen Silas.
Champion in 1994 and 1995 alongside Hakeem Olajuwon, Cassell was already on the shelves of her former team in 2020 but she preferred to hire Silas, whose record will ultimately be catastrophic with 25% wins! Three years ago, Doc Rivers had praised the qualities of his faithful assistant, since he accompanied him to Boston, LA Clippers and today Philadelphia.
” Sam Cassell should be head coach. Bar point he had launched. ” He has incredible game intelligence, and I hope he gets his chance. He cut his teeth. And when I talk about honing his skills, he’s done everything possible to get a job already. So I hope it will happen. »
Except that the competition will be tough since the Rockets must also talk to big names like Kenny Atkinson, Ime Udoka or Frank Vogel.
