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.

I'm with you, this is the worst possible outcome, neither side looks good.

Looks like everyone concerned is just hoping the entire mess just goes away and we can get on with hoping there's a fight during the Indy/Detroit series.
