Bobby Manning:
> Van Gundy will oversee all basketball operations while he’s around, not just coaching. Joe Mazzulla said he’ll provide a bird’s eye view, and he won’t be on the bench

I feel like “oversee” is doing a lot lol more like “provide input on”
Celtics already angling to oust their POC coach for another yt male
Keeping a bird’s eye view on second cousins
But why though? He hasn’t held a job of any kind – front office or coaching – with an NBA team since 2007. It’s a completely different league now so I’m struggling to see what kind of insight he could have that would be that valuable…
So in other words, consult?
And if needed, if the benches clear for a fight, he’ll grab onto anyone’s ankles and hold on for deal life.
I don’t see it as usurping Brad in any way. JVG just going to provide is input on the Celtics operations and his vision on their vision as a team…he’s been around the game since he was last coach, on that level I believe he can continue to contribute, as a consultant. But in terms of overseeing operations and all that entails being a coach today and running a professional team, having been out of coaching for so long, not sure how much JVG can contribute that wouldn’t be a little bit outdated. Still think he’s a solid addition to Boston’s staff.
Don’t got twitter
Which Van Gundy?
Same. Annoying post
Lol…. Season hasn’t even started and they’re already getting Mazzulla some additional coaching help. I’m not saying I don’t understand, since we all watched him get absolutely EXPOSED this past postseason. Maybe he’ll show JVG The Town so they can get on the same wavelengths
Come back to host game switch Mike Breen :(((

They should have fired Mozzarella, he’s not bright
The reason we know there is a media bias towards Boston is that Joe “I got basically the exact same results as the last two guys with a team further into its prime” Mazzulla got CoTY votes
