Van Gundy moves up list With Rick Adelman out as Kings coach, the Rockets' Jeff Van Gundy has the third-longest tenure of any coach in the NBA. Van Gundy has been with the Rockets for three seasons. Utah's Jerry Sloan and San Antonio's Gregg Popovich have lapped the field. Van Gundy, Eddie Jordan, Mike Dunleavy and Rick Carlisle all began their current gigs in the 2003-04 season. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/3861692.html
The guy had'nt missed the playoffs till prior to this season. his winning % is up there with the very best. he took an 8th ranked Knicks to the NBA finals. knock him or love him, one thing you cant deny, he is a heck of a coach.
[Triumph] ...for me to poop on! [/Triumph] Mr. Van Gundy is an adequate head coach. If changing head coaches is good enough for teams that get past the first round, it is good enough for the Houston Rockets. Go get Mario Elie.
Yes because Elie has proved himself as a coach who can pull teams past the first round........or wait.....I guess you are saying we need to get a guy that has already won the crown, so replace JVG with a guy who has never been a head coach. I see the logic in that.
