 ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Billy Donovan is out in Orlando, and his cold feet could cost both him and the Magic. The Magic finally let Donovan out of a $5.5 million annual deal late Wednesday night after news broke days ago he was having second thoughts. Donovan may have stained a good reputation built on two straight championships at Florida.
"I realized in less than 24 hours after signing a contract with the Magic that I had made a mistake that had nothing to do with the Magic," Donovan said in a statement Wednesday night. "Instead, I realized that, in my heart, I belonged in college basketball. As soon as I realized that, I contacted the Magic immediately to let them know."
Orlando is still coachless, and could miss out on second choice Stan Van Gundy if the Sacramento Kings hire him quickly.
