The Brooklyn Nets have prodded a few high-profile head coaches to take over their vacancy, and most recently were rumored to have contacted Jeff Van Gundy, according to The New York Times. However, Brooklyn doesn't seem like the best scenario for Van Gundy, should he choose to return to coaching.
Van Gundy hasn't been a head coach in the NBA since 2007, his last season with the Houston Rockets.
The former New York Knicks and Rockets head coach holds a .575 winning percentage in 11 seasons between 1995 and 2007, along with a 44-44 playoff record and one trip to the NBA Finals under his name.
From there he went on to work for ESPN as a broadcaster, but rumors about his return have been heating up as of late.
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Los Angeles Clippers have some level of interest in Van Gundy alongside the Nets, but Van Gundy seems to be a bit cryptic about his desires.
Jeff Van Gundy, via text message: "I don't just talk about jobs. If Billy wants to talk about who he has talked to, then that's up to him."
