The Orlando Magic are close to firing coach Jacque Vaughn, according
to reports.
Sources told the Orlando Sentinel that the Magic, who lost their
seventh straight game Thursday night to fall to 15-34, will not
guarantee whether Vaughn will remain as coach for the rest of the
season.
ESPN.com reported that the team's management has decided it will
relieve Vaughn of his duties. The only question, according to the
source, was how soon.
Vaughn replaced Stan Van Gundy before the start of the 2012-13
season. He has a 58-155 overall record with the Magic.
