 ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - For Stan Van Gundy, a moment during the Orlando Magic's summer league practices last week simply reaffirmed how much he wanted to be back on the sideline.
His plan during those workouts was to merely observe, letting assistants Steve Clifford, Brendan Malone and Bob Beyer run practices. But as the hours went along, Van Gundy, who hadn't been part of an NBA practice since resigning from the Miami Heat in December 2005, just couldn't stop himself from doing what he does best — coaching.
"I really did try to sort of sit back and watch practice, but I just kept drifting down to the court more and more," Van Gundy said. "I didn't overstep what those guys were doing, but my voice started to be heard a little more. It's hard to stay away and see things and I'm looking forward to being back."
