It appears that Jeff Van Gundy will be back in the booth with Mike Breen and Mark Jackson next year. ESPN exec Norby! Williamson gave him the vote of confidence yesterday....

"We're thrilled with what Jeff has brought, and we're very anxious as the playoffs and Finals get over to get into discussions," Williamson said. "We'd be thrilled to have him as part of the team heading forward."

"If that (ABC/ESPN) opportunity presents itself, that would be wonderful," he said. "I would be remiss if there's a contract extension being offered to turn it down, because I did that earlier this year (with the Rockets) and it didn't turn out the way I wanted it."
