I think you might be on to something here.
But Riley said Van Gundy was the man for the job, remember?
"If I'm getting forced out, I would have gotten absolutely every dollar on my contract and walked out the door," Van Gundy said. "That's not what happened here. ... Anybody who's speculating otherwise has to do so in total disregard of the facts of the situation."
Whole article can be found
here.
Is it possible that this isn't just Riley wanting to coach again without catching heat (no pun intended) about taking over a job he said was secure?
