Dude is brutally honest and I would watch every single post game show he had even if I went to the games I would race home to watch them.
But, what most people don't recall here is that he alway went to bat for his players. If anyone talked bad about his players, he would defend them like they were his own sons. He was very emotional and in many respects was a players coach. Because, he would be involved with them as people too regardless how hard he would be on them on the courts.
And lastly, there are players like Gortat that will say they owe everything they have accomplished in the NBA because of Stan. How many coaches can say that?
It is a dream for me to witness Stan Van Gundy coach my two favorite teams in the NBA. This is like a dream come true. Pistons are going places. Believe it.
Great post BMP.
