I read a comment in one of the DBB threads recently - make yourself known in the comments whoever you are! - that wondered whether Stan Van Gundy was the wrong type of coach for such a young group of players. Perhaps his hard-nosed, confrontational style would work better with a group of veterans who could take it and feed off of it. Perhaps the Pistons were in need of a softer, player’s coach type who could work better with fragile young egos.
An few comments made after Wednesday’s loss to the Bulls by both Stan and his players (from an ESPN article by Nick Friedell) seemed to point toward a real concern that this question may actually be incredibly valid:
"You say so many things," Van Gundy said.
