Former Pistons coach, president Stan Van Gundy back in action with Pelicans

Stan Van Gundy is going from the broadcast booth back to the sidelines.

The former Detroit Pistons team president and coach, who had been a TV analyst for TNT, has agreed to coach the New Orleans Pelicans, according to multiple reports Wednesday.

Van Gundy, 61, was with the Pistons from 2014-18 in the unique dual role of running the front office and coaching the team before he was let go prior to the final year of his contract. He built a 152-176 record in his tenure with the Pistons, including the team’s last playoff appearance, in 2016.
