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.
