The Houston Rockets are currently in a rebuilding stage, with them having a lot of solid young prospects such as Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun. Coach Stephen Silas has been overseeing their rebuild, though it looks as if this will be it for him at the end of this season.
NBA insider Shams Charania of The Athletic recently reported that the Houston Rockets will not be picking up the option on Stephen Silas’ contract after the end of this season, and that the team believes a “coaching change is necessary” for the team to get better.
“But Sunday’s afternoon win over the Washington Wizards was Silas’ final game on Houston’s sidelines, multiple league sources, who like all of the sources in this story were granted anonymity so that they could speak freely, tell The Athletic. Silas, who compiled a 59-177 record during his tenure, will not have his option picked up by the organization and the sides have a meeting set on Monday for formal word on his ouster, sources say. The Rockets believe a coaching change is necessary for the next stage in their multi-step process toward sustainable success, and are prioritizing a more established coach as the next hire.”
Stephen Silas will be out as Houston Rockets head coach, as the franchise embarks on search for a hire to take the next step, league sources say.

There is no doubt that this is unfortunate for Stephen Silas. It is clear that he was not put into the best circumstances to succeed as a head coach in Houston, and hopefully, we see him get another head coaching job in the future.
It will be interesting to see who the Houston Rockets select as their next coach. They definitely have a lot of good options for that position, and hopefully, the next coach can help them take the next step as a squad.
