Stan Van: "I said several times during my coaching career, when we would go play out there, that it was always important to me playing out there because I grew up there," Van Gundy told a Florida radio station. "That arena is old, so it was the same arena when I was a sophomore in high school. The Warriors won the NBA championship in 1975 led by Rick Barry. Al Attles was their coach. I was a huge fan, and everybody knows that."
SVG new coach of the Detroit pistons. Why pick the pistons over GS? Because of full control and because of not trusting GS management/ownership plus no personnel decision making.
Van Gundy has a history of not trusting / not getting along with GM's. Warriors aren't special in that regard.
