Jeff Van Gundy won't be coaching the Philadelphia 76ers.

Van Gundy, who already interviewed for the Cleveland Cavaliers' vacancy, spoke to Sixers general manager Billy King on Wednesday night.

"We mutually agreed it wasn't a good fit,'' Van Gundy said Thursday in an interview on Comcast SportsNet, which is owned by the same company that owns the 76ers.

The Sixers have been looking for a coach since Hall of Famer Larry Brown resigned Monday after six seasons.

Van Gundy, who abruptly resigned last season as coach of the New York Knicks and remains under contract with the club until July 31, appears to be the leading candidate for the Cavs' job. Former New Orleans coach Paul Silas also interviewed with Cleveland. Brown also is interested in the position.
