The Magic have hired Scott Skiles.
The Orlando Magic hired Scott Skiles as their new coach this afternoon, the Orlando Sentinel has learned.
Team officials hope their fiery former point guard will instill a hard-nosed identity, jump-start their rebuilding process and energize their fan base.
Skiles compiled a 443-433 regular-season record and reached the playoffs six times during prior head-coaching stints with the Phoenix Suns, Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks. He earned a reputation as a no-nonsense coach whose teams played tough, energetic defense

Scott (Skiles) clearly distinguished himself as a tremendous fit,” said Hennigan. “Our young roster will benefit greatly from Scott’s extensive head coaching experience and commitment to teaching smart, physical, unselfish basketball. We believe in Scott’s ability to establish a culture of winning habits and accountability that will help guide our team in a positive direction.

Skiles is good fit for Magic. Can see similar uptick from his Bulls' stint with young talent there.
