The story that I read said that Van Gundy is now saying that it wasn't a referee in the first place; it was a "league official"- as in somebody on the NBA paid staff. I don't think that it should really matter to Stern. His staff shouldn't be spreading those stories either. But......apparently the NBA don't care now as long as it wasn't a member of the officiating staff.
This one smells to high heaven now. Not sure I believe this latest spin at all.
