Anfernee Hardaway will be remaining at Memphis and will not take the Orlando Magic's vacant head-coaching position, according to multiple reports.
Jeff GoodmanJust got off the phone with Memphis coach Penny Hardaway — who told me he is staying with the Tigers. “I couldn’t step away from what I started. One day it would be a dream to coach in the NBA, and the Orlando Magic, but we still unfinished business at Memphis.”
Hardaway would have represented a connection to the Magic's golden era. Orlando reached the 1995 NBA Finals and appeared to be a budding dynasty until Shaquille O'Neal left for the Los Angeles Lakers ahead of the 1996-97 season.
