After just one season, Stan Van Gundy and the New Orleans Pelicans have agreed to ‘part ways’. Van Gundy lasted just one season as the coach. From 2014 to 2018, Van Gundy was the head coach and president of basketball operations for the Detroit Pistons.
Stan Van Gundy’s stay in New Orleans was anything but a ‘Big Easy’. After one year he is out as coach of Pelicans.
Despite having a budding superstar in Zion Williamson and one of the top young scorers in the NBA with Brandon Ingram, New Orleans went 31-41 and failed to make the playoffs.
