Five coaches have been fired in the NBA this season, but Magic coach Stan Van Gundy's job is apparently safe.

"It's just a matter of you don't know the date ? and you can't worry about it," Van Gundy said. "I think those guys who went didn't worry about it. You try to win games. And you realize that's the way it's going to go in this profession.

"You just do your job, and when the time comes ... somebody else will do your job."

Van Gundy is 70-36 in about a season-in-a-quarter.

"We have, by far, the best coach for our guys. It's not even close," GM Otis Smith said. "For Stan and I, it's what he's doing with our team in both wins and losses and what he does in developing our team.

"We have young guys. He's done an outstanding job when it comes to that. We're eons away from where we were a year ago, two years ago."
