Stan Van Gundy got back to coaching after a hiatus and led the New Orleans Pelicans this past season, however, the two sides decided to part ways already this summer, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.
Van Gundy and Pelicans EVP David Griffin have been meeting regularly to discuss the future and ending this partnership after just one season started to feel like an inevitable result around the organization.
The Pelicans missed the playoffs this year, finishing the shortened regular season with a 31-41 record at the 10th spot in the West, two wins away from the play-in tournament.
In search for a replacement, Pelicans are expected to circle back among some candidates from a year ago, including assistants Jacque Vaughn and Ime Udoka (Brooklyn), Charles Lee (Milwaukee) and Jason Kidd (Lakers)
