Sports Talk with MC

Florida Gator in, Florida Gator out.

Why is Billy Donovan trying to opt out of his 5 year coaching deal with the Orlando Magic? If I were Donovan, I’d remember the following things before doing anything remotely close to final:

-Hey, an NBA season is long, and arduous, but the team you are set to inherit is littered with talent, with potential. What’s more, you have cap room. What’s not to like?

-Forget the Rick Pitino incident. Ricky had much less to work with then (Antoine Walker is nowhere near the specimen Howard is).

In Billy’s case, it seems like the quiet life, and loyalty, has gotten the best of him. In truth, I can’t say I can blame him for staying with the Gators, but maybe, just maybe, he should’ve thought of that before whipping out his fountain pen. What’s more, sometimes, when opportunity knocks, you’ve got to bite. The “why’s” and “why not’s” of this dilemma are all written out in black and white in one place- the mind of a 42 year old Winner.

Note the word “Winner”. His reputation precedes him. Evidence of such is the putting to the forefront of the clear cut choice that has been made, and that now, he seems to want to rebuke.
