Jeff Van Gundy To Coach USA Basketball For World Cup Qualifying

[RealGM Wiretap]

Jeff Van Gundy will be the head coach of USA Basketball for World Cup qualifying.

The roster will be comprised of non-professionals in the tournament, which will take place in November, February and next July.

Van Gundy hasn't coached since leaving the Houston Rockets in 2007. Van Gundy has been a candidate in recent seasons for NBA vacancies. 

Gregg Popovich will coach the senior national team in the 2019 World Cup in China.

Nice- they will definitely have to D up! Maybe this will lead JVG to take a head coaching job back in the NBA when vacancies allow.

If JVG hasn't gotten back into coaching by now... I'm not sure he ever will. He seems to really enjoy broadcasting.

Oh gosh no. That's not the type of roster he should coach.
