While waiting perhaps one day to commentate on NBA matches again on NBC or Amazon, Jeff Van Gundy has been serving as an advisor to Brad Stevens for eight months, and is the interface between management and the staff of the Celtics and G-League. A position that he had accepted, after being approached as an assistant to Jason Kidd at the Mavericks, or to Wes Unseld Jr at the Wizards.
According to Mark Stein, the former coach of the Knicks and Rockets could still find a bench, and it would be… in Boston. According to our colleague, Brad Stevens plans to call on him to replace Charles Lee, who has become the new coach of the Hornets. Lee was Mazzulla's right-hand man, and Van Gundy could therefore replace him position for position.
At 62 years old, “JVG” has not sat on an NBA bench for 17 years and his time in Houston, but we remember that he returned to service for the American federation to coach the United States during the AmericaCup in 2017 then for the qualifiers for the 2019 World Cup.
