to Bernie Bickerstaff.  This seems to be one step beyond earlier rumors that Kahn was "interested" in talking to Bickerstaff.  If true it would be the first time this step has been taken as far as I am aware.  ESPN keeps making Rumors about canidates also.

Anyone an Insider who cares to comment on this?  

     In other information ESPN is giving some traction to the Idea that players and cities should just create their own basketball association. and cut out the billionaires altogether, an interesting idea.
