The Houston Rockets continue to shake up their coaching staff after a second straight season of being eliminated by the Golden State Warriors.
Tim MacMahon of ESPN reported on Friday that the Rockets have mutually agreed to part ways with assistant Roy Rogers. This news comes just days after the team let go of associate head coach and defensive guru Jeff Bzdelik.
A second Rockets assistant coach will not return next season. Roy Rogers and the Rockets have mutually agreed to part ways, sources told ESPN.

Rogers had been an assistant coach for the Rockets for the last three years, a span over which the team averaged 58 wins per season. That success has been marred however by an inability to topple the Warriors as kings of the West.
With yet another disheartening end to the year to stomach, it appears not only to be affecting Houston’s players but their personnel now as well.
