标题: [外絮] SVG leaves Magic

Orlando Magic fire coach Stan Van Gundy, parts ways with GM Otis Smith
Free at last.
The Orlando Magic have fired coach Stan Van Gundy after five years as head
coach and parted ways with GM Otis Smith following a tumultuous 2011-2012
season.
The team announced the moves in a statement.
Orlando Magic Chief Executive Officer Alex Martins announced today that Stan
Van Gundy has been relieved of his duties as head coach. In addition
President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Otis Smith and the
organization have mutually agreed to part ways.
"On behalf of the DeVos Family, we sincerely appreciate and thank Otis and
Stan for all that they have done on and off the floor for the Orlando Magic,”
said Martins. "These are the days you dread in this business, but we feel
it's time for new leadership and new voices.
"They both brought die-hard dedication and an unmatched work ethic on a daily
basis,” added Martins. “Their success is well documented, as the Orlando
Magic has had the fourth best record in the NBA over the last five years, and
entering the playoffs this year the third most playoff wins over that period
of time. The disappointment of getting eliminated in the first round of the
playoffs these past two seasons played a primary role in our decision, as we
feel our momentum towards winning a championship has paused. We wish Otis and
Stan all the best and we look forward to taking the next step towards winning
that championship."
Van Gundy, 52, guided Orlando to the 2009 NBA Finals and posted a record of
259-135 (.657) during his time in Orlando. He previously coached the Miami
Heat for 2-plus seasons and now holds a career coaching record of 371-208
(.641). The Magic failed to advance out of the first round of the Eastern
Conference playoffs in the last two seasons.
After the Magic were eliminated by the Indiana Pacers in 5 games back in May,
Van Gundy said that he wanted to return as coach of the Magic.
"Yeah, I want to come back, but that's not up to me," he said to the Bright
House Sports Network. "As far as the speculation, I'd say the same thing I've
been saying all year -- who gives a damn. They'll make a decision when they
make a decision. I'm not going to worry about it, I'll tell you that. As long
as I'm coaching I'll continue to do my work and I'll get ready for next year.
If they want to make a change, make a change. That's up to them."
The writing had been on the wall for Van Gundy for months as All-Star center
Dwight Howard reportedly went to Magic ownership and management on multiple
occasions seeking an ownership change. A report surfaced in March that the
Magic had agreed to let Howard hand-pick his next coach and GM.
The situation came to a head on April 5, when Van Gundy confirmed to a large
group of reporters that Howard had sought his removal as coach, saying that
he had heard the news "from the top" of the organization.
"You guys think that's crazy but that's honestly the truth," Van Gundy told
reporters in April. "I said this before, I don't care about that stuff. It's
12:02 right now, if they want to fire me at 12:05, I'll go home and find
something to do. I'll go home and have a good day. What I'm worried about is
at 7 o'clock tonight, are we going to be able to guard Carmelo Anthony? That
concerns the hell out of me."
With cameras rolling, Howard joined the press conference and -- not knowing
what Van Gundy had said -- denied that he had ever said that.
"It's nothing. It's nothing," he said. "I haven't said anything to anybody
about anything. Our main concern is about winning. All that other stuff
should stop."
Howard then bristled when a reporter pointed out the contradiction between
Van Gundy's statement and his.
"I said that? Who did I say that to? I'm asking you, since you guys have so
many sources," he said.
Magic GM Otis Smith attempted to publicly mend the fences but the damage was
clearly done.
The unbearably awkward scene symbolized the organization's dysfunctional
season, as Howard first publicly requested a trade and then ultimately opted
in with the Magic for 2012-2013 at the March trade deadline. Howard later
underwent back surgery that prevented him from playing in the 2012 playoffs.
Van Gundy will enter the coaching free agent market as one of the top names,
alongside the likes of Phil Jackson, Jerry Sloan, Mike D'Antoni and Nate
McMillan.
