Billy Donovan informed the Magic and the University of Florida over the weekend that he had second thoughts about agreeing to be Orlando's head coach, but it's unclear if the NBA team will let him go.
Orlando has a signed contract from Donovan and are making a decision as to whether or not to let him out of the five-year, $27.5 million deal that he signed Thursday, multiple sources told ESPN.com Sunday.
If the Magic do let Donovan out of the deal, they have to decide whether to enforce a financial penalty. Both sides aren't talking publicly since there are legal issues involved in such a decision.

he should stay at florida if he can, but come on Billy, didn't you think about this?

He should have to pay out the ass to the Magic if he's allowed to void his contract.
There has to be some sort of legal ramifications. You can bet that an NBA franchise has the best lawyers money can buy to sue his ass.
Like the other guy already said.....Didn't he think this through before he put pen to paper and signed the contract?
-
The guy made two mistakes - first by accepting the Magic job and second by quitting in 48 hours.
That said, I say he gets a pass, so long as he apologizes to both organizations. I don't think he needs to do anything more and I would argue the same even if he hadn't won 2 titles.

His legacy will take a hit over this down the road, though.

How could anyone be so indecisive?

I agree. Someone was joking that his wife was all ticked off about the school systems and real estate in Orlando. Any truth to this?
