In a startling admission, Florida Gator coach Billy Donovan admitted in his tell-all autobiography, released this morning, that Orlando front office officials and their lawyers held a gun to his head and forced him to sign a contract for $27.5 million to coach the Orlando Magic.
None of Orlando's front office could be contacted for comment, but an unnamed spokesman claimed that was preposterous, saying he doesn't recall what they held to his head, but that it wasn't a gun.
This comes 2 days after Orlando let him out of his contract with the stipulation that he not coach in the NBA for the next five years.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I was relieved they did that, because Florida held a gun to my head for a new contract, that just happened to be for the next 6 years. So...it worked out well."
When asked if there was any other reason (besides the gun to his head) for backing out of the contract, he said, "Well, this is kinda funny, but in all the excitement and craziness, I forgot to run the job by my wife, who was furious with me when I told her I accepted the job. She then held a gun to my head and made me agree to get out of it any way possible. Boy, I tell ya, three guns to my head in as many days, I've had enough of contracts, hahaha!"
