Jeff Van Gundy has agreed on a deal to become the lead assistant on Ty Lue’s LA Clippers coaching staff, sources told ESPN. Van Gundy is considered one of the finest minds in basketball and had been pursued for years to return to coaching on a full-time basis. His relationship with Lue and the franchise’s fondness for Van Gundy played major parts in the Clippers’ ability to land him, sources said. Van Gundy, 62, spent the previous 16 years as a television analyst for ESPN before accepting a role with Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens last summer.
