Pelicans Fire Van Gundy

[duckbutta]

Wow

I thought he was very good involving Zion in the offense
He coached Dwight Howard in his prime
He coached Shaq in Miami

The majority of the coaches in the NBA are clueless on how to coach big men. They only see them as Lob threats and pick setters

This is tuff

Both Shaq and Dwight wanted him fired though

Stan isn't a bad coach...but it's a players league more than ever before and when that report came out that he didn't connect with guys I knew it was over.


Stan got that personality where he isn't about to kiss nobody's ass either, so if the players didn't like him he probably didn't give a shyt.

 

[pete clemenza]

Bad hire to begin with. How many more years do they owe him is the question?

 

[Sghost597]

No, the players didn't fukk with SVG, especially BI.

Yeah, just found this out. SVG being SVG

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Zion unable to make playoffs after nba rigged it for him 2 years in a row. 2 coaches fired

it’s over.

 

[Sauce Dab]

Shouldn’t have hired him in the first place. They need to slow down and take they time. Maybe don’t try a retread this time. Griffey job on the line, 2 coaches in 2 years with 2 all stars on your team?

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

Are we in the phuking Twilight Zone today ?!

 

[Damnshow]

He'll be collecting his paycheck as no team should hire him anymore

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Back to ESPN

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Stan Van wasn’t the guy. And this team doesn’t have a championship window opening anytime soon. So they need to focus on keeping Zion around.

Move BI. Move on from Lonzo. Put together a real plan to be competitive in 3 years.

Locking in the core of Lonzo, BI and Zion is just asking to be a treadmill team.

 

[xXMASHERXx]

Not surprised. When they lost that game to the Knicks I knew he wasn't going to be the coach going forward.

 

[Max.]

All that fake X & O's...they got his fat ass out the paint

 

[UpAndComing]

Both Shaq and Dwight wanted him fired though

Who gives a fukk what they wanted

Not alot of coaches know how to coach big men, they see them as an afterthought. Look at Coach Bud and how he utilizes Giannis

 

[Patrick Kane]

He’s still owed 28 million over the next 4 years Imagine being so bad at your job that you get fired the first year and you’re rewarded with 30 million dollars to sit on your ass

He only came back to the league to get that retirement bread because of his name. Guys a dinosaur, league passed him by.

 

[NormanConnors]

He should never get a coaching or front office job again, if so
