Basketball Coach

The Resume

    (September 21, 1959- )
    Born in Indio, California
    Head coach for Castleton State College (1983-86), University of Wisconsin-Madison (1994-95), Miami Heat (2003-05), Orlando Magic (2007-12) and the Detroit Pistons

Why he might be annoying:

    He bears a striking resemblance to porn star Ron Jeremy.
    This resemblance has led to much ridicule by Jim Rome.
    He lists 'Laguna Beach' as his favorite TV show.
    Some basketball pundits felt that he was pushed out of the Heat head coaching job when Pat Riley decided to return to coaching.
    His appointment as Magic head coach involved significant compensation since he was still under contract with the Heat.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His younger brother is Jeff Van Gundy.
    He is the first coach in Heat franchise history to be appointed head coach at the NBA All-Star Game (2005).
    He guided the Heat to the best record in the Eastern Conference in his only full season with the team (2004-05).
    He and his brother Jeff are the second set of brothers to go head to head as coaches in a regular season game (Houston vs Miami - 2003).
    He was a successful head coach at the college level.
