You just do your job and when the time comes, somebody else will do your job

Good quote today from ORL coach Stan Van Gundy, who has compiled an excellent 70-36 record in 106 games as the Magic's head coach, on the inevitability of being fired:

"It's just a matter of you don't know the date — and you can't worry about it. I think those [coaches who were fired recently] didn't worry about it. I don't believe those guys go from good coaches to bad coaches in a year. You try to win games. And you realize that's the way it's going to go in this profession. You just do your job and when the time comes ... somebody else will do your job. Whatever time [ORL management] think that they've got a better alternative, they should go with that guy. I say that with no qualms. Ultimately, you're only judged by winning or losing."
