The Orlando Magic have announced today that Stan Van Gundy has been relieved of his coaching duties (their words) and Otis Smith has left as the team’s general manager.
The news isn’t necessarily that surprising since Van Gundy said that Dwight Howard wanted him fired in an early April media session. It’s safe to assume that Magic ownership are trying to keep Howard happy.
It’ll be interesting to see if Van Gundy jumps back into coaching or if he’ll join his brother Jeff in the broadcast booth.
