"The Orlando Magic let the wrong guy walk; they should have chosen head coach Scott Skiles over general manager Rob Hennigan!!!"
This has been a prevalent, passionate refrain from many Magic fans in the wake of Skiles' shocking resignation this past week after only one season on the job.
This way of thinking is both understandable … and irrational. First of all, there's no evidence Skiles ever demanded it was either him or Hennigan. Secondly, if Skiles ever did give the Magic such an ultimatum, then management made the right choice by choosing Hennigan.
