NBA Statement Regarding Houston Rockets Coach Jeff Van Gundy

NEW YORK, May 9 ¨C NBA Deputy Commissioner Russ Granik today issued the following statement in regard to Houston Rockets
coach Jeff Van Gundy:

¡°Over this past weekend, Coach Van Gundy publicly apologized for his comments last week suggesting bias in the league¡¯s
refereeing relating to Yao Ming. He has also confirmed directly to an NBA representative that, during the Houston/Dallas playoff
series, he did not have any communication with a referee (working or non-working) other than, of course, during an
ongoing game. In fact, his only conversations with league employees during the series were with league personnel in the
normal course. In light of these circumstances, we now consider the matter to be closed.¡±
