Kevin McHale fired by Rockets after poor start

Kevin McHale was fired by the Houston Rockets, a person familiar with the situation told USA TODAY Sports.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team hasn't announced the firing.

J.B. Bickerstaff will take over on an interim basis and Chris Finch will be the associate head coach. Bickerstaff, 36, is the son of longtime NBA coach and current Cleveland Cavaliers scout Bernie Bickerstaff and is considered one of the bright young coaches in the league.

Bickerstaff, who helped make the Rockets a better defensive team last season, previously interviewed for the top job in Detroit and Phoenix.
