Stephen Silas was scheduled to have a second interview with the Houston Rockets on Friday.
Silas is currently an assistant coach with the Dallas Mavericks.
The Rockets are believed to have identified Silas, Jeff Van Gundy and John Lucas as the three top candidates for their head coaching position.
Daryl Morey stepped down as general manager of the Rockets on Thursday, but it is not clear how that might impact their coaching search.
