Former Heat coach Stan Van Gundy said Wednesday he has been rebuffed in his bid to add members of the Heat coaching staff to his new staff in Orlando.

Speaking on WQAM's Hank Goldberg Show, Van Gundy said Heat coach Pat Riley has decided to hold his staff to their contracts.

"It's unfortunate for me, but Pat's got a great staff there. He recognizes it and he's not going to let 'em go, because he knows how good they are," said Van Gundy, who was hired last week by the Magic.

Van Gundy said he expected to complete his Magic staff next week. He said he spoke to his brother, Jeff Van Gundy, the former Rockets coach and current ABC television analyst, who bypassed an offer to join his staff as an assistant.
