I'm sure the comments of Dr. Jack is old/senile and who cares what he thinks will follow. However, I was arguing with someone in another topic that Van Gundy is much more highly regarded than Dunleavy by the experts. Not sure many would call Dunleavy for Rudy an upgrade but some would definitely feel Van Gundy would be. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HAGLER (HOUSTON): HEY DR. JACK. DUNLEVY OR VAN GUNDY? MY MONEY IS ON DUNLEVY. Dr. Jack Ramsay: (4:47 PM ET ) Mike is a good coach...Van Gundy has been among the top coaches in the league. I'd pick Jeff, but I'm not in on the decision making. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matt houston: Dr. jack where do you see the Rockets at the end of next year, and how close will Yao Ming compare to hakeem when his career is over. Dr. Jack Ramsay: (5:01 PM ET ) If JVG is the coach, they'll make the playoffs. Yao will become a very good NBA center...maybe a great one. Hakeem is already down as one of the top10 of all time.
Just strengthening the JEFF VAN GUNDY CAUSE. When Van Gundy resigned...Dr. Ramsay was praising him and said he would be great... He's not the greatest writer ever...but...I agree with him!
I actually have more respect for what the good DR. says than alot of the other clowns out there. He is right, if JVG comes in and kicks some ass around the locker room, we will be in the playoffs next year.
SLA,I agree with him too. but you know some internet basketball junkies will disagree and call Dr Jack senile because he may seem out of it when talking about trades, rumors, and all that.. but when it comes to basketball and the game, I believe the man knows what he is talking about.
