If you're short on time, don't ask Steve Clifford how his five years as an assistant to Stan Van Gundy helped prepare him to become an NBA head coach. You'll get a much more concise answer if you ask Clifford to name the areas in which Van Gundy didn't help mold the career assistant into the guy who took the woebegone Charlotte franchise to the playoffs as a rookie last season.
He's an elite coach, Clifford said before his mentors Pistons thumped the rebranded Hornets by 20 points on Wednesday. And to be an elite coach in this league, you know, he's good at everything. He's a leader, he's super organized, he knows how to utilize his staff, he's a communicator, he's knowledgeable, he's a teacher and he has a work ethic and a passion to push himself that very few people have.
Sure, but can he handle being both a coach and the president of basketball operations, Steve?
"Yeah, because he's also one of the smartest human beings youll ever spend time with."
