Jenneral Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Bucks assistant Kelvin Sampson will join the Houston Rockets as associate head coach to new head coach Kevin McHale, a league source confirmed Tuesday. The Houston Chronicle earlier reported that Sampson and J.B. Bickerstaff would be joining McHale. Sampson served as an assistant under coach Scott Skiles for the past three seasons and had interviewed for the Rockets head coaching position and for the Detroit Pistons' vacant coaching position during the last few months. http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/125441618.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenneral Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I liked having him on the Bucks staff. I don't blame him for leaving though, I'd get sick of losing year after year too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Love the hires, we get our defensive coordinator in Sampson and Bickerstaff is another highly regarded assistant in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Like the hiring of Sampson but idk about Bickerstaff I haven't heard of him much so we will have to see. But I do like the fact that he was interviewing as a head coach, if we can grab a possible head coach as an assistant for us I will take it.
