Van Gundy moving positions
In a surprise move, the Houston Rockets organization has moved Jeff Van Gundy to the Assistant GM position, to move Jacob Milani to head coach. He will keep his GM job also.
"We've liked the trades so far, and I would like to see how he can coach a team." said Rockets president Leslie Alexander. "We believe he can do a great job. Van Gundy seconded that.
"I loved coaching this team, but I believe Milani can pick up where I left off and lead us to glory," Van Gundy said. "I'm happy they kept me with the organization."
"I'm glad that Jeff can help me making some tough decisions now, with him being assistant GM," said Milani. "I usually talked to him before I offered the trades, but now with him being a part of the job, his thought really counts more.
"He did a great job, and I hope I can carry on what he was doing".
