Jeff Van Gundy (born November 9, 1962 in Hemet, California) is the head coach of the NBA's Houston Rockets, an assignment that began with former coach Rudy Tomjanovich's health issues. He has led the Rockets to the playoffs in each of his first two seasons, but each time, the team lost in the first round.
From March 8, 1996 to his resignation on December 8, 2001, Van Gundy was the head coach of the New York Knicks. He led the Knicks to the playoffs six times, including an appearance in the 1999 NBA Finals.
In May, 2005, he was fined $100,000 by the NBA for accusing referees for investigating the on-court actions of Rockets' center Yao Ming on the recommendation of Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. This is the largest fine ever handed down to a coach in NBA history.
