The Rockets’ list of coaches to interview continued to grow Tuesday more rapidly than the team could begin checking them off.

The Rockets added a second champion-era star to their list of candidates, with plans to meet with Sam Cassell, an assistant with the Washington Wizards, next week.

They have his former teammate, Mario Elie, an assistant with the Sacramento Kings, scheduled for an interview today.

The Rockets also plan to set up an interview with Hall of Famer Kevin McHale, next week, Yahoo sports reported Tuesday.
