Van Gundy screwed?

Reports indicate that former NBA coach Stan Van Gundy was all set to join ESPN's NBA Countdown until the NBA "stepped in". Van Gundy and Commissioner David Stern have been at odds for years due to Van Gundy not being afraid to speak his mind. A spokesperson from ESPN stated the following regarding Van Gundy:
“We had discussions with Stan Van Gundy and were interested in a role for him at ESPN. Ultimately, we differed on potential assignments and we moved in another direction.”
During a radio interview yesterday, Van Gundy was asked about the ESPN situation and responded by saying:

During a radio interview yesterday, Van Gundy was asked about the ESPN situation and responded by saying:
“No one at ESPN will tell us what happened. Certainly the NBA office isn’t going to tell us what happened. One of the quotes from ESPN in there – we had discussions, but couldn’t agree on a role … as is usual, that’s a bunch of BS from ESPN.We actually did agree on a role, but then they came back and pulled that. That’s when we knew something was up.Nobody is going to give a straight answer because … that’s just the way a lot of people operate … nobody there has the guts to say anything, so that’s what you deal with.What I find fascinating … you have to give David Stern and the NBA a lot of credit … ESPN pays the league, and then the league tells them what to do. It’s more ESPN’s problem. You gotta have no balls whatsoever to pay someone hundreds of millions of dollars and let them run your business.Just say what happened. Who cares? Who cares if I’m on there or not. Just come out and say this is what we decided and why … [ESPN's quote] that’s just a flat out lie. Why would you do that? I don’t understand. We agreed on something, you changed your mind and pulled the offer. Don’t say we couldn’t come to an agreement. We did.”
Thats sum fuck shit! these commissioners kill me thinkin they control everything, he should sue like Vilma. How u gonna stop that man from getting a job knowing that his coaching opportunities r slim to none? I know van gundy like to shoot his mouth off but people like myself love to get a honest opinion especially from somebody as real as van gundy who just stepped off a NBA bench. People cant handle real people and its a shame cause I really wanted to see van gundy call games or wateva with his brother but I guess 1 van gundy is already to much.
