Stan Van Gundy: My first thought is that Chris Broussard has no knowledge of coaching and wouldn’t know it if he saw it. I’d like to get some specifics from Chris on what he thinks coaching is … and what’s not happening.

:gladbron:


Stan Van Gundy: My second thought is this, when he says they need somebody of the ilk of Phil Jackson, Pat Riley and Gregg Popovich, two thoughts on that, there aren’t many guys of that ilk period … and second of all if that’s the ilk they need, maybe they’re not that damn good anyway

Stan Van Gundy: And my third thing is in the game today there aren’t many guys as good as Erik Spoelstra. And I would cite a couple things rather than just an opinion. … That is the best defensive team that I have ever seen that doesn’t have size. I’ve never seen an elite defensive team in the NBA, until this Miami team, that doesn’t have size. To me, there has to be a helluva lot of coaching in there.”The Miami Heat’s win to stay alive against the Boston Celtics [team stats] has drawn the highest preliminary television rating for an NBA playoff game on cable since records started being kept in 2003.

What are your thoughts on Chris Broussard writing that Erik Spoelstra is in over his head?:

"Well, there's a number of thoughts there. My first thought is that Chris Broussard has no knowledge of coaching and wouldn't know it if he saw it.

"My second thought is this: When he says they need somebody of the ilk of Phil Jackson, Pat Riley and Gregg Popovich, two thoughts on that, there aren't many guys of that ilk, period … and second of all, if that's the ilk they need, maybe they're not that damn good anyway. And my third thing is, in the game today, there aren't many guys as good as Erik Spoelstra.

"And I would cite a couple things, rather than just an opinion. … That is the best defensive team that I have ever seen that doesn't have size. I've never seen an elite defensive team in the NBA, until this Miami team, that doesn't have size. To me, there has to be a hell of a lot of coaching in there."
