Episode Details

The Orlando Magic parted ways with Jamahl Mosley after their disappointing season and playoff collapse. Will the next coach be the one to lift them to a title?

If he does, he will certainly have a lot of thanks for Mosley. The Magic hired Mosley to guide the team out of its rebuild and lay the foundation for their success. He was wildly successful in getting the Magic to the Playoffs and giving them an identity. But he was unable to break through.

Ultimately, Mosley's struggling offense and inability to adjust his scheme in the Playoffs and to his personnel cost him as the team got more serious about winning in the last few years.

As the Magic search for a new head coach, they must find someone who can balance offense and defense to build on this foundation and be able to guide the team deeper into the Playoffs.
