According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Houston Rockets have received permission from the Denver Nuggets to interview assistant coach, Wes Unseld Jr.
Houston is starting to receive permission to interview assistants for vacant head coaching job, including Denver’s Wes Unseld Jr., and Dallas’ Stephen Silas, sources tell ESPN.

Unseld has been the “defensive coordinator “ during his time with the Nuggets and has done a phenomenal job revamping Denver’s defense. It would be tough to lose Unseld, but he’s certainly earned this opportunity and Michael Malone has been advocating how ready Unseld is to be a head coach for quite some time.
Michael Malone, on @AltitudeSR: "I hope I don't have the same staff next year. Wes Unseld Jr. should be a head coach."

"He shouldn't be back. He's more than ready to be a head coach."
Also cites David Adelman and Jordi Fernandez as future head coaches on his staff.
Malone feels Unseld is “more than ready” to be a head coach and I guess the Rockets agree. We will continue to monitor the Nuggets coaching situation here at Denver Stiffs and keep you updated once more information becomes available.
