Orlando (AFP) - Scott Skiles was named coach of the Orlando Magic on Friday, the 13-season NBA coach tasked with ending the club's three-year run of failing to reach the playoffs.
Skiles, whose first season as a coach was for Greek side Thessaloniki in 1996-97, takes the job from which Jacque Vaughn was fired last February, one taken on an interim basis by James Borrego.
