Rockets' Defensive Coordinator Reportedly Targeted by Rival
Miami Central's defensive coordinator, Michael Johnson, is rumored to be leaving the program after three seasons to join the rival Miami Northwestern Bulls. Johnson, a key member of the Rockets' coaching staff since 2023, has helped the team improve its defensive record. Under his guidance, the Rockets' defense has allowed an average of 12.5 points per game, a significant drop from the previous season's average of 18.2 points per game. If Johnson departs, it could impact the Rockets' recruiting efforts, particularly in the defensive backfield, where they have several top prospects committed. The Bulls, who have been rebuilding their program, may see Johnson's arrival as a significant coup.
