Rockets Promote Gersson Rosas to Executive VP of Basketball Operations

Rockets are more like Rio Grande Valley's NBDL team.

 

These titles and duties are confusing. Seems like the only thing that changed is the title. Wasn't Rosas already helping out with all those things?

Does Rosas have any experience in basketball, outside of the Rockets? Can't remember what he did before...

 

After the Marcus Morris and Terrence Williams disasters, they need to add someone from another team who is better at scouting Non-Euro players.

 

Congrats Gersson!

 

As far as I've read about Gersson, the Rockets are his first and only employer in the bball world, as said in his bio above he started as a video/scout guy for them. UH grad.

 

Now we gonna get some calls. Good asset acquired.

 

From what I understand, its not that Rosas' moved into a whole new job, now he's promoted he's like a mini-GM.

Before that he was the VP evaluator of talent. Now he's the VP evaluator of talent AND he's helping Morey with "basketball operations" (talk about ambiguous job descriptions lol).

As for those asking what Rosas was before, seems like he is a Rockets lifer who rose up the ranks, he started out as an intern for the Rockets, moved on to various coaching jobs, became the Rox video coordinator. Director of player personnel and finally VP of player personnel before his new role. He's also the GM of the Vipers, so my guess is he's tight with Chris Finch. Big picture you know how Morey always says $ball is just half of what they look at, the other half is traditional scouting and standard player evaluations? I think Rosas is the dude who provides that "traditional" view when the Rox evaluate guys.

Maybe him getting promoted was to provide contingency as the other dude might become a GM of another team. I have no idea

 

Did he have an actual coaching position or are you speculating? Can't remember him ever coaching anything, not here anyway.

 

May or may not have had something to do with the promotion:

Is he that good or are we trying to protect some critical proprietary knowledge?

 

Does this mean the Rockets are hiring? I could use a job with them!

 

I would look for a job with the Spurs first, and then when the Rockets see that your about to be hired with them they will snatch you up.

 

Congrats to Rosas and to Hinkie. I can't imagine them going with 2 execs sharing the same title for very long. They're doing this in anticipation of Hinkie moving on.

 

Never coached here but did Coach lower level. He is a great guy and well deserving!!!

 

I went to Jr. High & High School with Gersson, really cool dude. I'm very happy for him and his family!
