Jeffrey William Van Gundy (born January 19, 1962) is an American basketball coach and former commentator who is currently an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Clippers. He served as head coach of the New York Knicks and the Houston Rockets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). During his tenure on the Knicks, he led the team to the 1999 NBA Finals, where they ultimately lost to the San Antonio Spurs. Van Gundy won an NBA championship in 2024 with the Boston Celtics where he served as a senior consultant in the front office.

## Early life[edit]

Van Gundy was born in Hemet, California, and lived in Martinez, California until 1977.[1] His family moved to Brockport, New York while Van Gundy was still in high school, and he attended and played basketball at Brockport High School.[1]

He is the son of basketball coach Bill Van Gundy, the former head coach at SUNY Brockport and at Genesee Community College,[2] and the younger brother of former NBA coach Stan Van Gundy.[3]

As a high-school point guard, Van Gundy was a two-time All Greater Rochester selection in 1979 and 1980, leading Brockport to the Class AA finals. He continued his basketball playing career at Nazareth University, where he earned All-American honors, while leading the Golden Flyers to an NCAA Division III Tournament berth in 1984. He remains the Nazareth career leader in free throw percentage, at 86.8%.[4]

Van Gundy attended Yale University before transferring to Menlo College, and ultimately graduating from New York's Nazareth University, in 1985.[5]

## Coaching career[edit]

### Early career[edit]

Van Gundy began his basketball coaching career during the 1985–86 season, at McQuaid Jesuit High School, in Rochester, New York.[1] The following year, he became a graduate assistant under head coach Rick Pitino, at Providence College, helping the Providence Friars advance to the Final Four. In his second season with the Friars, he was promoted to assistant coach under Gordon Chiesa. The next season, Van Gundy became an assistant coach under Bob Wenzel, at Rutgers.

### New York Knicks[edit]

On July 28, 1989, Van Gundy became an assistant coach for the New York Knicks. He spent the next six-and-a-half seasons providing support to Knicks head coaches Stu Jackson (1989–1990), John MacLeod (1990–1991), Pat Riley (1991–1995), and Don Nelson (1995–1996). During his tenure as an assistant coach, the Knicks won three Atlantic Division titles, never finished lower than third in the division, and qualified for the playoffs every year. The Knicks advanced to the Eastern Conference finals in 1993, and the NBA Finals versus the Houston Rockets in 1994.[6]

On March 8, 1996, the Knicks named Van Gundy their next head coach, taking over the reins from Don Nelson.[7] In his second game as head coach, he notably led the Knicks to a 32-point blowout win over the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls, who had eliminated the Knicks from the playoffs four times since 1989.[8] However, Van Gundy was unable to change that trend in the postseason, as the Knicks fell to Chicago in the conference semifinals.

In his first full season as head coach, the Knicks tied for the third-best record in franchise history, at 57–25.[9] In the regular season finale, the Knicks defeated the 69–12 Chicago Bulls in Chicago, preventing them from posting two consecutive 70-win seasons in a row, and tying the best home record in NBA history.[10] Van Gundy was involved in a memorable scene in the 1998 NBA Playoffs series between the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat. When the Heat's center Alonzo Mourning and the Knicks' power forward Larry Johnson engaged in a bench-clearing brawl, Van Gundy unsuccessfully tried to break the fight up. In the process, he fell to the floor and clung to Mourning's leg.[11]

In the lockout-shortened 1998–99 season, the Knicks struggled with injuries (namely to all-star Patrick Ewing) and finished 27–23 to finish as the eighth seed for the playoffs.[12] In the first round of the playoffs, the Knicks upset the Heat in five games, avenging the previous season's playoff loss and becoming just the second 8th seed to defeat the number one seed in the playoffs. The win propelled an improbable run for the Knicks, as they swept the Hawks in the semifinals, and defeated the Pacers in six games, to advance to the NBA Finals. Without Ewing, they were overmatched in the Finals against the Spurs, and lost the series in five games. The Knicks were the first eighth-seeded team in NBA history to reach the NBA Finals.

The Knicks followed up their Finals run with a 50–32 season, and advanced to the Conference finals, where they were defeated by the Indiana Pacers. Until the 2013 playoffs, this was the last time the Knicks won a playoff series.

In a 2001 game between the Spurs and Knicks, Danny Ferry elbowed Marcus Camby. While talking to the referee, Camby lost control and tried to punch Ferry. Camby missed and hit Van Gundy instead, who said he learned his lesson about trying to break up fights between players.[13] The Knicks finished 48–34, but lost in the first round to the Raptors.

Just 19 games into the 2001–02 season, Van Gundy resigned from the Knicks' head coach position.[14] The move was unexpected, as the Knicks were on a winning streak, and coming off a 14–point victory against the Milwaukee Bucks.[15]

### Houston Rockets[edit]

On June 10, 2003, Van Gundy was named head coach of the Houston Rockets, replacing Rudy Tomjanovich.[16] In his first season as the team's head coach, the Rockets finished with a 45–37 record, and qualified for the playoffs for the first time in five years, but they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Los Angeles Lakers.

In his second season with the Rockets, Van Gundy guided the team, led by Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, to a 51–31 record, which was their first season with more than 50 wins since 1996–97. The Rockets once again lost in the first round of the playoffs, this time to the Dallas Mavericks.[17]

McGrady and Yao missed a combined 70 games due to injury in the 2005–06 season, and Van Gundy did not make the playoffs for the first time in his NBA head coaching career. In May 2005, Van Gundy was fined $100,000 by the NBA, for accusing referees of targeting Houston Rockets center Yao Ming. Van Gundy blamed Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban for causing the referees' alleged bias. This is the largest fine handed down to a coach in NBA history.[18]

The injuries and disappointments continued for the Rockets into the following season, with injuries limiting Yao to just 48 games played, and McGrady also not fully recovered from his injuries. The Rockets went on a late season run, on the back of a resurgence from McGrady, but another first round playoff loss, this time to the Utah Jazz, sealed Van Gundy's fate as the team's head coach. At the conclusion of their decisive Game 7 loss in the first round of the playoffs, Van Gundy was fired, and then replaced by Rick Adelman.

### National team career[edit]

In July 2017, it was announced that Van Gundy would be the head coach of the senior United States national team at the 2017 FIBA AmeriCup tournament, and in the qualifiers for the 2019 FIBA World Cup in China. USA head coach Gregg Popovich would then resume coaching the team at the World Cup, and at the 2020 Summer Olympics, should they qualify for either. Team USA became Van Gundy's first coaching job since leaving the Rockets in 2007.[19]

Van Gundy went on to guide the US to the gold medal at the 2017 FIBA AmeriCup, and also to qualify for the 2019 FIBA World Cup.[20]

### Front office career[edit]

On October 14, 2023, the Boston Celtics announced that Van Gundy had joined the team as a senior consultant to the basketball operations division.[21] The Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks in the 2024 NBA Finals, giving Van Gundy his first NBA Championship.[22]

### Los Angeles Clippers[edit]

On June 18, 2024, one day after winning the 2024 NBA Finals, Van Gundy was hired by the Los Angeles Clippers to serve as lead assistant under Head Coach Tyronn Lue.

## Broadcasting career[edit]

Following his firing from the Houston Rockets in 2007, Van Gundy was a guest analyst for ESPN's broadcast of the Phoenix Suns–San Antonio Spurs game in San Antonio, Texas. Soon after, he became a regular broadcast member for ESPN.

He called games as a color commentator with play-by-play announcer Mike Breen and Mark Jackson, including the NBA Finals 15 times.[23][24] He missed Game 1 of the 2022 NBA Finals due to COVID-19 protocols, leaving behind Mark Jones, Mark Jackson, and Lisa Salters.[25]

In June 2023, Van Gundy was let go by ESPN amid a wave of layoffs at the network.[26][27]

## Personal life[edit]

Van Gundy's older brother is Stan Van Gundy, who is a former head coach of the NBA's Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, New Orleans Pelicans, and Detroit Pistons.[28]

On May 8, 2011, Van Gundy received an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, from his alma mater, Nazareth University, during the college's 84th Annual Commencement Ceremony.[29]
