 ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Negotiations advanced and dissolved by the hour between Stan Van Gundy and the Orlando Magic. Finally, the Magic caught a break — and hope they've found a coach who'll keep the job longer than a week. The Magic introduced Van Gundy on Thursday, ending Billy Donovan's franchise record-short tenure and finally resolving one of the most bizarre coaching fiascos in NBA history.
Donovan said his apologies. He agonized over the decision — just like leaving Florida — but knew within a day it just wasn't right.
For the second time in six days, general manager Otis Smith posed for pictures with his new head coach.
