Stan Van Gundy told the media that he was asked to refrain from commenting about David Stern.
"I've been told I can't comment," said Van Gundy when asked who directed him to refrain from further remarks.
Van Gundy defended the way referees treat Dwight Howard, who had been suspended for reaching 16 technical fouls.
Stern told ESPN radio on Thursday that he wouldn't fine Van Gundy, but that he would speak to ownership of the Magic.
