    i disagree, he actually out coached the current coach of the year during the cavs series. He made better adjustments than Brown throughout the entire series

    Stan Van Gundy is a good coach, he's just been out coached in the FINALS and made a few bad choices down the stretch. He got his team to the FINALS, not every coach can say that. Think about that....

  • Um, Orlando beat the Celtics and that's what matters.

    And as game 4 of the finals, Van Gundy didn't turn the ball over nor did he miss 15 free throws. He set his team up to win and they missed the mark, don't blame the coach.

    It would literally be impossible for the worst coach in the NBA to take his team to the finals (by winning 3 best of sevens), regardless of the composition of his team's roster. Literally impossible.

    The worst coach in the NBA (whoever it is) could not have coached the Magic to the finals, and could not have coached the Lakers to the finals.

    there are 2 teams and two coaches left. so yes van gundy is the worst coach right now. plus jameer nelson has put a monkey in magic fluidity. lee and alston carried them thru east finals. now the 2 are playing pitiful minutes and nelson has two points to show for it? and fisher shooting 2 3's over him? plus he should stop playing with his mouthpiece coz it looks disgusting. hes a good pl;ayer but hes not 100%. magic people should accept that. and let the ready players play.

    no i give that award to they guy coaching the Cavs LOL hes a joke

    his hole strategy is get open incase lebron misses or needs to pass the ball

    Gundy is worse than his brother but as a collage coach he would be solid...he said he didnt play Alston cause after 12min he thought he had sat down for to long and was going to be infective please hes an NBA player how can he not be ready

    testing out Nelson now is the biggest mistake hes made they were up on the Cavs why didnt they stretch out the series and test Nelson out than and not in the finals know is not the time to adjust your line up

    he has an inability to adjust to diversity

    He's close. That Magic team underachieved given its talent level. He couldn't say no to Jameer Nelson. And a good coach would understand that Dwight Howard needs to work out with someone else because Patrick Ewing was a completely different player than Dwight and he is going to teach Dwight things that he can't use.

    He coached the Magic to the Finals so he's isn't the worst coach in the NBA.

    If he was the worst he would not have gotten this far beating the Celtics & the Cavs. Lakers are just a better team that know how to win big games by playing championship level basketball when it's for all the marbles.

    Source(s): Van Gundy is a great coach. The 2009 NBA Western Conference teams are better than the 2009 NBA Eastern Conference teams. Lakers are the best, simple as that...
