OT- Donovan to ORLANDO???WTF???

Postby X factor » Fri Jun 01, 2007 1:14 pm

College Hoops fans...anyone see THIS coming???

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Rich history wasn't enough to lure Billy Donovan away from Florida. In the end, it was just riches.

Donovan will have plenty of them after he was hired to coach the Orlando Magic on Thursday. The team confirmed the hiring Thursday night and scheduled a news conference for Friday morning.

Donovan agreed to a five-year deal paying $5.5 million annually, an official in the NBA told The Associated Press.

"Billy Donovan is a winner," general manager Otis Smith said in a statement. "We feel he is the right person to develop and maximize the talents of our players. We look forward to Billy leading us to the next level."

The Magic scheduled a news conference for Friday morning.

I can't BELIEVE old Eddie Munster JR is taking this gig! He waits a few years, and he could've had any NBA job he wanted. Now, he's gonna go to a shit team like the MAGIC, stink up the joint, and be back in the college ranks in a much lesser job.

And he turned down UK for THIS???? (And yes, I know...five mill breaks a lot of ties...but STILL...)

Not a fan of that guy.

Good luck, Widow's Peak.

This is good news for the Magic. Maybe we'll get a REAL arena out of this. The plus side to that of course is that we will get some concerts here for a change instead of Tampa.

Or maybe not....I thought Orlando did get good concerts anyway.

Aerosmith shot the You Gotta Move DVD there...
