They are all on winning teams?? Charlotte Toronto Memphis Assistants dont get the same credit as HCs and are usually all over the place...they're not really going to have a proven track record. You have to look further than that...roles in player development, experience, etc..
Stein's blowing up: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">All three, sources say, are getting a strong look from Houston to potentially serve as associate head coach if D'Antoni is hired as expected</p>— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/733422830746894336">May 19, 2016</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> ...sigh...

I seriously doubt Toronto or any other team would grant the Rockets permission to interview their coaching staff --- unless a head coach promotion was on the table.
Not necessarily. Money plays a part, as well as length of contract and what his responsibilities would be with the Rockets.
