Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni, agent back in talks of new contract extension

HOUSTON – The Rockets and head coach Mike D'Antoni, along with his agent, have reopened discussions regarding a contract Saturday, according to reports.

Talks for a contract were broken off recently, leaving D'Antoni's situation in limbo beyond next season as he had one year left on his current deal. 

On Saturday morning, KPRC 2 sports anchor Randy McIlvoy spoke with Warren Legarie, the agent for Mike D'Antoni.

Legarie said although the Rockets are discussing an extension, there is still no agreement yet on a salary for D'Antoni.

In another discussion with those close to the situation, Mcllvoy was told progress is being made, and one source reiterated, "We are now closer."
