The Rio Grande Valley Vipers will announce their next head coach in a Monday press conference.
The Houston Rockets G League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, recently announced that Kevin Burleson was leaving his position as head coach to become an assistant for the Detroit Pistons.
With the Vipers' success over the years, it doesn't come as a surprise that Burleson is moving on to the NBA. Over the Vipers' history, they have been a stepping stone for players, specifically coaches, to advance their careers. Since Nurse, multiple Vipers coaches, from Chris Finch to Burleson, have gone from the Vipers' head coach to the NBA. This shows that the Vipers are one of the most successful G League franchises ever, and well-respected around the NBA.
