It just doesn’t happen around here all that often. This is about the endless search for the Next Parcells. He was the assistant no one knew much about and then George Young hired him and Bill survived 3-12-1, and set about changing the modern history of the New York Giants. Jeff Van Gundy was an assistant under Pat Riley and Don Nelson that only the players really knew about when Dave Checketts fired Nelson and replaced him with Van Gundy. He never won a title with the Knicks. But he should have won in 1997 and he made it to the Finals in 1999 and even with an old wounded team in 2000, the Knicks made it to the Eastern Conference finals before losing in six to the Pacers.
