Jeff Van Gundy and Scott Brooks remain the top candidates for the Houston Rockets' head coaching vacancy.
The Rockets are optimistic Brooks will wait for the end of their season despite the strong interest he's received from the Washington Wizards.
J.B. Bickerstaff is currently interim head coach of the Rockets and isn't expected to return.
Van Gundy was head coach of the Rockets until 2007 and he's since been in broadcasting.
