Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press:
Van Gundy also confirmed that the team will hire a shooting coach. He has interviewed two candidates and plans to interview two more.
“It’s an extremely important part of the game, and we want somebody to just focus on that area,” Van Gundy said. “For our staff now, that’s a part of what we do. We’ve just come to think that shooting is too important to not have somebody who’s totally focused on that.”
This is great news. Shooting improvement is more on players than a coach, but a shooting coach should only help.
