Like Donovan, Magic to keep Skiles sidelined

Scott Skiles might not ever coach again in the NBA after resigning in Orlando. Then again, he might.

What's certain is that he won't be coaching in the league for a while, perhaps for as long as the next two seasons under a non-compete agreement with the Magic.

The Magic saddled former Florida Gators coach Billy Donovan with a similar NBA non-compete for an undisclosed period in 2007 after he quit a few days after taking the job.

Donovan returned to UF and stayed for another eight seasons until being hired by the Oklahoma City Thunder before this season.
