Fan: Fan turned the Clippers with mediocre foundations into a strong defensive team. He is definitely qualified to be a head coach.

October 12th Recently, former NBA head coach and current commentator Stan Van Gundy accepted an interview and talked about his younger brother Jeff Van Gundy.

Talking about how to evaluate Van Gundy Jr.'s performance after leaving coaching for 10 years, he said: "His performance last season was very good. The Clippers' defensive level is top-notch. The reason why this result is impressive is because their lineup, in the eyes of many people, does not have such excellent defensive capabilities. The previous year, the Clippers' defensive efficiency was still in the bottom ten of the league, and as soon as Jeff took office, he suddenly changed the team's defensive efficiency. The defensive ranking improved to third in the league. I think what surprises a lot of people, including a lot of people in the media that I've talked to, is that at 63 years old, he's still able to develop deep relationships with players that are as close as the camaraderie between players. "

"The players all like Jeff, which is not surprising to me. Throughout his many years of coaching, he has always been able to resonate with his players and build relationships with them. A special bond of trust. This is not only because he has a wealth of basketball knowledge, but also because he is honest and always speaks the truth. Players want to keep learning and improving, and they won't be able to grow if the people around them are always sugarcoating things. You'll never hear any fluff from Jeff. Beyond that, what people don’t see on the surface is that he also has a great sense of humor. He was just a really nice guy and truly cared about everyone around him. "

"Obviously, because he is my brother, I will inevitably be biased, there is no doubt about it. But I think when there is a vacancy - and of course, I never want anyone in the league to lose their coaching job because of this, I have always supported the coaching community - I think he is fully capable of being the head coach. Jeff is definitely qualified for the head coaching job and once again did a great job. "
