There have been no reports, that I have seen, of Jeff Van Gundy being in a candidate in Larry Bird’s current search for a new coach for the Indiana Pacers. But whenever a team is looking for a top-tier coach, particularly after they fired a pretty-damn good one, JVG’s name will come up.
Van Gundy has had such success in this league and is such a well-known figure that he is always in the mix — even if each passing year he spends as a commentator makes it seem less likely that he will ever grace the sidelines again.
