On Wednesday morning, the New Orleans Pelicans relieved Stan Van Gundy from his head coach position.
SVG only coached the Pelicans for one season with a 31-41 record and they finished 11th in the West, missing out on the play-in tournament. It was a disappointing season for the Pelicans because this team was ready to be playoff material, but Van Gundy’s coaching style might have held the Pelicans off from that goal.
What was truly frustrating were Van Gundy’s terrible rotations.
