Coach lasts 5 days!!
#1
Typical to happen to the team I follow Blink

Quote:Billy Donovan has ended one of the shortest-ever coaching reigns in the NBA by leaving Orlando after five days.

Donovan, 42, agreed a five-year $27.5m deal with the Magic last Friday but then expressed doubts about quitting college basketball's Florida Gators.

Orlando said on Wednesday: "We have granted Billy permission to break his commitment and return to the Gators."

In April, Donovan guided his University of Florida team to a second straight NCAA crown, beating Ohio State 84-75.

The Gators became the first team to win back-to-back titles since Duke in 1991-92.

Donovan led Florida to three trips to the NCAA title game and had a 261-103 record during his 11 years at the university.

Madness!
