Dan Craig having decided to leave for the Bulls, Tyronn Lue was looking for a new right arm. And according to ESPNhe found it since it is Jeff Van Gundy who will join him with the Clippers!
At 62, Stan's brother returned to the Celtics, where he accepted a role as advisor to Brad Stevens last year, after being fired by ESPN. Jeff Van Gundy commented on the NBA on the American channel for 16 years, refusing several offers on the benches of the Great League during this period.
Nevertheless, he led the United States in qualifying and the AmeriCup, proving that coaching was still in his blood. It was also in this context that he met Tyronn Lue again, whom he had managed in Houston.
First assistant to the Knicks from 1989 to 1996, in support of Stu Jackson, John MacLeod and Don Nelson, but especially Pat Riley, he then took the reins of the team until 2002, including a final (lost ) in 1999. He then led the Rockets, between 2003 and 2007, without passing the first round.
In the process, he joined ESPN, forming the main trio of commentators with Mike Breen and Mark Jackson, notably analyzing the Finals for 15 years.
