Jeff Van Gundy

It doesn’t sound like Jeff Van Gundy will be competing with ESPN colleague Mark Jackson in the New York Knicks’ head-coaching sweepstakes. Though Van Gundy’s name is one among many that has been floated around as a potential replacement for the fired Jeff Hornacek, ESPN.com’s Ian Begley reports the franchise doesn’t have any interest in [...]

Do not expect the Milwaukee Bucks to remove the “interim” tag from head coach Joe Prunty’s job title anytime soon—or ever. League sources told The New York Times‘ Marc Stein that they expect the Bucks to chase bigger, more established names to serve as permanent successors to the fired Jason Kidd. The current list of candidates is [...]

Jeff Van Gundy is higher on the new-look New York Knicks than Las Vegas. Currently, the over/under on New York’s win total for this season is 38.5.

If the New York Knicks, winners of just 17 games last season, make the 2016 NBA playoffs, plenty of people will be shocked. ESPN NBA analysts Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy will not be among those people. Nor, for the record, will I. The Knicks are going to have a much-improved defense, and Carmelo [...]

The New Orleans Pelicans may be done waiting on the Chicago Bulls to free Tom Thibodeau. Although the Bulls’ head honcho has been linked to all three current NBA head-coaching vacancies, Chicago’s front office appears hell-bent on ensuring he doesn’t coach next season and is holding him in their keep until all the job wells [...]

If you didn’t already know the New York Knicks hired Derek Fisher, you’d think Jeff Van Gundy was still angling for their head coaching position. During an interview with Anthony Donahue for his Internet radio show on The Knicks Blog, Van Gundy said some pretty nice things about the Knicks. Like, for instance, he thinks [...]

Everything about the New York Knicks’ coaching search has been weird. So, typical Knicks. But in a different way.
