Rockets May Favor Mike D’Antoni as Head Coach 

Mike D’Antoni, the architect of the Phoenix Suns’ celebrated high-paced and high-scoring offense a decade ago, has emerged as a favorite for the Rockets’ coaching position, two individuals with know-ledge of the team’s thinking said on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the process.

D’Antoni has had multiple conversations with Rockets officials, including owner Leslie Alexander, building momentum to be selected, though several individuals with knowledge of the process said no negotiations have started and no additional formal meetings are scheduled.
