Stan Van Gundy

You only get that here on Tuesday. You need my expertise for that. That's right. Phil Jackson was a great coach. Controversial opinion. Well, it is with Stu Gatz.

I thought that quite honestly, in 2005, I thought we should have won it here in Miami.

Yeah, but Dwayne got hurt. I'm just saying, I thought we had the best team in the league and should have won it in 2005, and I don't know that we should have won it in Orlando in 2009, but we were certainly good enough to win it in 2009.

Listen, all I ever did as coach is if they said a guy could play, that was it. He was playing. I'd take Dwayne Wade at 50% over most guys. You're going to keep putting that statue up.

Hey, listen, I know Eric well enough, and I think most coaches are the same. You... You remember the failures far more than you remember the successes. And so I would say that one will haunt him. Yeah, he's still got the championships and four other trips to the finals and all of that. And hopefully he knows... much he's accomplished in the league and has some pride in it.

But yeah, that one's not going away. That's just who he is and who most coaches are. He will remember. I will say, yes, the word haunt is probably accurate. Do you reach out to him in that situation or you know better? No, I did reach out to him. I could see the pain in I could see the pain in him at his press conference, and I felt for him.

I actually did the same thing in a college game, but I was... That's why these guys who get their first head coaching jobs in the NBA... It amazed me because I was able to make those mistakes. I made that mistake at Castleton State College in Vermont. It still haunts you.

It still haunts me. No one remembers it, but it still haunts me. But I've been there, and when he did it and I watched that press conference, man, I could tell he was in pain. What do you text?
