This Heat?s season that just ended was full of surprises and progress.

Perhaps none bigger than the excellent coaching performance that marked Stan Van Gundy?s first year as a head coach.

Believe it or not, Van Gundy has now coached more games with his current team than any coach in the Eastern Conference.

Van Gundy said that he?s become ''a little disheartened'' by all of the coaching changes, especially when ``people get a bad shake or weren't treated with a lot of loyalty.

"At the same time, it makes me all the more thankful for the situation I've been in and an organization that is extremely loyal.''
