Longtime ESPN NBA color commentator Jeff Van Gundy was one of several on-air personalities laid off by the network last week due to Disney-mandated budget cuts.
Van Gundy, who was a staple in the NBA booth since 2007, is now looking to return to the sidelines as a coach, sources told Sports Illustrated‘s Chris Mannix.
Mannix elaborated on the Van Gundy news in a column released on Thursday.
