VAN GUNDY AMAZED: Stan Van Gundy’s father was a coach, his brother was a coach and all he ever wanted to be while growing up was a basketball coach. And he’ll glad tell you that most of his friends are coaches of some sort.
So maybe it’s no surprise at all that Van Gundy considers Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan as one of his heroes in the profession. Van Gundy marvels that Sloan has been so successful in his 22 years in Utah, leading the Jazz to the NBA Finals twice.
``To me, this is a mentally taxing job, the losses bother me, the season is long and the travel is tough. To me, maybe other than Phil Jackson winning 10 championships, the most remarkable coaching achievement is what Jerry has done,’’ Van Gundy said. ``I can’t fathom 21 years of doing this and doing it well. It seems otherworldly to me.’’
Van Gundy, who has admittedly struggled with keeping his emotions from spilling over during long seasons, said he’s most impressed with how Sloan has been able to maintain his intense style of coaching and never wavering in his approach.
``He’s a very intense guy and for him to go out year after year and do it, I marvel at it,’’ Van Gundy said. ``I talk about it all the time with other coaches. To me it’s as big as an accomplishment as anybody has ever reached in this league, being in one place 21 years and counting. It’s phenomenal.’’
