    <div>

    <span style="font-style: italic">Oct 17</span> - Former Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy signed Tuesday for a full season as part of ESPN/ABC's lead NBA broadcast crew and said he expects his former team to be a contender once again this year.</p>

    </p>

    Van Gundy, who joined the network in a guest role last year after he was fired by the Rockets following their opening-round playoff loss, again will work alongside play-by-play announcer Mike Breen and with analyst Mark Jackson.</p>

    </p>

    "I'm very thankful to ABC and to ESPN," Van Gundy said. "They rescued me at my darkest professional hour last year in terms of helping me stay busy during a difficult time, and for them to want to continue to employ me, I couldn't be more grateful." -- <font color="#000000">Houston Chronicle</font></p></div></div>

    I don't mind Gundy's broadcasting, he was entertaining during the finals last season.</p>
