Jeff Van Gundy met with management and ownership of the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.


The conversations between Van Gundy and the Rockets will continue on Thursday.


The Rockets parted ways with Van Gundy in 2007 and he has since worked in broadcasting.


The Rockets are also considering Ty Lue, John Lucas and several other candidates.

Good for Jeff.

Guy absolutely deserves a second shot at coaching the Rockets. He showed what he can do once and has demonstrated a willingness to get with times and acknowledge that there are many ways to play today's game.

Tillman will lowball him, but I think he's hungry enough to accept. It's a good fit.

For the love of basketball, please listen to your own words, Tilman Fertitta, and admit that you aren't qualified to choose a head coach. Just do whatever your basketball ops tell you, as long as the money fits.
