Van Gundy is an idiot with a huge ego, which adds up to the fact that he doesn't know when to just shut his mouth. He is the biggest reason I have not watched very many of the playoff games this year. One of the games I did watch had a flagrant foul by someone or other, and Van Gundy started spouting off about "that kind of play" and "that type of person shouldn't be in the league"...all I could think of was Van Gundy hanging on to Alonzo Mourning's leg and being drug around the court when he was coaching the Knicks. He shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a microphone.

Van Gundy loves to call routine fouls flagrant fouls, then criticizes calls when they are called flagrant fouls. Almost all of the ones he criticizes ends up standing the next morning after review from the League.

I mute the television and turn on the radio. I then find whatever broadcast is in sync with real time television. Started doing this a few years ago when some football announcer was driving me nuts.
