There are a few names being tossed around for the job. People are talking about Doris Burke, J.J. Redick, and Richard Jefferson as possible replacements from within ESPN. But there’s also a chance they might consider Doc Rivers, who used to coach the Philadelphia 76ers.
It’s a bit sad for fans to see Van Gundy go. He had a lot of charisma, and everyone loved watching him during the broadcasts.
As of now, Jeff Van Gundy hasn’t said anything about his departure from ESPN. We’ll have to wait and see what he plans to do next in the basketball world.
