The latest New Orleans Pelicans news is related to the coaching search the team is currently involved in. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, of Yahoo! Sports, the Pelicans interviewed Jeff Van Gundy today for the position of head coach.
According to Yahoo! Sports, the Pelicans met with Van Gundy while in the Bay Area for the Western Conference Finals. This makes sense, as Van Gundy is currently working as color commentator for ESPN so the Pelicans would need to go to him if they wanted to speak to him about his reported interest in the team. This was a formal interview, but it was more about the two sides getting to know each other, and less about the logistics of running the team proper, contract talk, or anything else that usually takes place in these kinds of interviews.
