  "summary": "In the early 1980s, Herb Livsey, head of the Snow Valley Basketball School, tasked Van Gundy with driving legendary former college coach Pete Newell for a few days. Newell was in town to teach at the camp, and Van Gundy, still in his early 20s, found himself bombarded with questions, as he admitted to wearing Newell out for two days. The assignment was a significant opportunity for Van Gundy, and it provided a unique insight into the mind of one of the sport's most respected coaches.",
