Jeff Van Gundy:

This hire might be worthwhile just to get him off the broadcast team. Van Gundy has won everywhere he goes. He’s a defensive mastermind and he commands respect. He won’t be a sexy selection. He might not be able to take them to the NBA Finals, but like Jackson, he can make a bad team them good. The Suns need someone who can teach the fundamentals and demand that they’re followed. No one on this list will do it better than Jeff.
