WATCH: Pistons' Van Gundy Lashes Out At Kings

ESPN.com has noted that Detroit Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy, who has been the victim of a head coaching firing with the Orlando Magic, lashed out at the Kings organization for the handing of their very public head coaching search involving George Karl, all the while Tyrone Corbin has been limping the Kings to the All-Star break.

"You don't need to do it the way they're doing it now. That thing's been in the news for two weeks now, and Tyrone's coaching and they obviously don't have any problem treating him like that. Tyrone Corbin is a class act. He was a class act as a player, he's a class act as a coach, and he's being treated very, very poorly," said Van Gundy as he spoke to reporters before Detroit's game against San Antonio on Wednesday.

One thing for certain is that Kings owner Vivek Ranadive is a man with little to no patience. It's obvious he wants to win, and wants to win now, but success is not immediate in a loaded Western Conference. It'll be interesting to see the impact Karl will have in Sacramento with 30 games left.
