Despite not coaching since 2007, Jeff Van Gundy was constantly in the rumor mill for plenty of open positions – all while he was a color commentator for ESPN.

Well, ESPN quietly laid off the former Knicks and Rockets head coach before this NBA season started, and his brother Stan, who is also a head coach turned analyst on TNT, says they did his brother dirty.

"He was hurt by it, I mean he worked for them for 17 years. And it wasn’t even just the fact that they made the move, I mean they s--t on him," Stan said on "South Beach Sessions," via "Awful Announcing."

The older Van Gundy said Jeff lost his job conveniently after the top coaching and front office positions this past offseason were all filled.

"The timing was awful. They waited until basically the NBA market in terms of coaching jobs, assistant jobs, front office jobs was already gone by to make the move," Stan claims. "And then they delayed and delayed and delayed on a buyout that would free him to work for [other] people. I mean, after 17 years of being in arguably … the best game broadcast booth in the business in basketball, and being the kind of person he is, ESPN s--t on him."
