The Orlando Magic coaching job is about to change dramatically. It’s about to be a young team and finding a coach who can develop and grow with a team that is not going to win a lot of games next season after Dwight Howard is traded. Eventually.
So, how about Jeff Hornacek for that?
Hornacek is an assistant coach with the Jazz and he was interviewed for the Orlando head coaching job, reports Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel.
The first two interviews also were assistant coaches — Brian Shaw of the Pacers and Mike Malone of the Golden State Warriors. Those two have been at the front of the line for job interviews for a while now, talking to teams about pretty much every coaching vacancy this summer.
Also getting interviews are Lakers assistant Quin Snyder (who just left the Lakers as an assistant to take a similar role with CSKA Moscow), Suns player development specialist Lindsey Hunter, and Spurs assistant Jaqcue Vaughn.
It’s early in the process for new GM Rob Hennigan, who also has another little thing on his plate soaking up his time.
