A report in the New York Post the day after the Rockets were eliminated said Jeff Van Gundy was going to retire, but he says he will take some time to think about it.

"I do the same thing every year since I've been coaching ? I sit back and I think about what's right for the team and what's right for myself," Van Gundy said Monday. "This is no different."

Van Gundy has no immediate plans to make a major decision.

"To do that, when I'm still emotionally frustrated with the outcome (of the series) would be, really, a disservice to everybody involved," he said. "Where that originated, I haven't seen the story, so I can't tell you. When I got called about it, it caught me off-guard a little bit."

Van Gundy has one year left on his nonguaranteed contract, meaning the Rockets have the right to terminate it any time after June 30.
