Peter Vescey of the NY Post reported this morning that Jeff Van Gundy has decided to retire and not deal with the stress of being a NBA coach anymore. LOL

First let me just say that Jeff's contract was UP and he knew that they were not going to renew it so he thinks he is fooling somebody by deciding to retire. Whatever JEFF!!!!

Peter Vescey always jumps the gun. He's an ass!! Always trying to get the jump on a story. Try again Pete. You loser.

Van Gundy not stepping down, but future with team unsure
Coach has a non-guaranteed season left on his contract, but owner hasn't decided if he will return or be fired

Amid reports that Jeff Van Gundy would not return as Rockets coach, Van Gundy said Sunday he has not decided to step down and Rockets owner Leslie Alexander said he has not reached any decision about Van Gundy's future.

Van Gundy has one non-guaranteed season remaining on his contract.

Told that there has been speculation that he would fire Van Gundy, Alexander said, "That's totally false.

"There is absolutely no truth to that. That's false, totally false. That decision has not been made."

Van Gundy strongly denied he had reached a decision. He has often said that the decision about next season was not only the team's, but said Sunday that he has not decided to step down.

"I haven't even thought about that yet," Van Gundy said. "It's just 12 hours after we lost. There has been speculation about my job going on the whole year. Anybody that saying that (that he has chosen to step down as Rockets coach), I have no idea why they would say that.

"There is no significance to anything other than we lost. That's the only significant thing."

Asked if he has meetings with Rockets general manager Carroll Dawson, assistant general manager Daryl Morey or Van Gundy planned to discuss Van Gundy's future, Alexander said that answering any "volatile questions" would lead to more speculation, but would only say he has not made a decision.

"Jeff has talked to you about that, and he wouldn't lie," Alexander said. "And I told you I haven't made a decision and you know I have never lied to you. Both stories are untrue. There is no truth to this."

But while Van Gundy remained the Rockets on Sunday, a day after the Rockets were eliminated in the playoffs' first round, neither could say how long that would remain true.

I don't think Vescey would write something that's FALSE

If he does "retire", it is only to go to another team. Much like when he retired the Knicks and wound up in Houston a couple of years later.

He is probably tired of coaching Yao-lol

For someone who says they know alot about basketball you apparently don't know about Vescey. He's notorious for saying $ hit that isn't true. Claiming that certain trades are about to happen and they never do.....He's an idiot.


Well if Van Gundy doesn't retire then I would never take another Peter Vescey article seriously again. Because the LAST THING i want to do is post False Information on this board

I just gave you a current article about JVG. So it damn sure looks like Vescey is once again talking out of his ass!!


Well it was reported today that Van Gundy denied the Retirement report so That's it, I will never ever post anything that Peter Vescey writes. You only get once chance to messs up with me and I feel FOOLISH for posting the false information
