Poor Start Leads Van Gundy to Talk With Pistons’ Owner
(Stan) Van Gundy, after a chunk of games that has his team at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, paying an early deposit with the 76ers for a good seat at next May’s draft lottery, has begun to realize that balance is probably more delicate than his dual titles as coach and president of basketball operations.
“I don’t think it’s gonna be overnight,” Van Gundy said. “I’d like it to be. (Pistons owner) Tom (Gores) would like it to be, but I don’t think it’s gonna be an overnight thing.”
“Last night it was an hour and a half, just talking about our roster and where we’re headed and the whole thing. What I feel good about, what I don’t like. It was two days of texts.”
“We talk once a week or so. Last night for a long time,” Van Gundy said. “I think that we’re very much aware of what his thinking is and feeling and he is of mine and we’re on the same page. I don’t think somebody in my position can have much closer communication with an owner than I do. I can’t imagine that.”
