Scott Skiles has emerged as the strong frontrunner to become head coach of
the Orlando Magic, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Magic general manager Rob Hennigan has discussed the opening with several
possible candidates, but Skiles has clearly separated himself in the process,
league sources told Yahoo Sports.
联盟人士告诉Yahoo Sports, Skiles领跑魔术队教头职缺.
联盟人士也告诉Yahoo Sports, 魔术总管Rob Hennigan已与多名人选讨论过此职缺,
但Skiles在这过程中显得鹤立鸡群.
Although Orlando has thus far shown no inclination to rush into a hiring,
discussions could soon advance into contract negotiations, league sources
said.
Skiles, 51, has been the preferred choice of Orlando ownership, which has
been fond of him since his playing days with the Magic in the 1990s. Skiles
fits the candidate profile that Hennigan privately outlined for the coaching
search: a successful head-coaching résumé that includes strong emphasis on
upgrading Orlando’s defense and accountability.
虽然魔术先前显示他们对于聘请新教练并不着急. 但讨论程序有可能即将变成合约谈判,
联盟人士告诉Yahoo Sports.
51岁的Skiles是魔术的优先人选, 自从90年代作为魔术球员的时期, 他就受到魔术喜爱.
Skiles符合Hennigan私自为候选人所描绘的轮廓: 有着成功的执教经验, 其中包括他的
信赖度, 以及对于提升魔术防守的着重.
In head-coaching stops in Phoenix, Chicago and Milwaukee, Skiles developed a
reputation for turning bad teams into competitive ones, and tightening porous
defensive units. Nevertheless, Skiles also built a reputation for burning out
teams and wearing out a path to his exit.
Skiles在他的执教生涯待过凤凰城, 芝加哥以及密尔瓦基, 他以强化防守以及让烂队
翻身为强队闻名. 不过, 他也以太操球员而著名.
Orlando had interest in discussing its opening with Chicago Bulls coach Tom
Thibodeau, but the Magic haven’t wanted to offer draft compensation for the
chance to acquire him, league sources said. Chicago management has been
waiting for a team to offer a draft pick to hire Thibodeau, but so far that
hasn’t happened. The Bulls seem determined to hold on to Thibodeau until the
league’s job vacancies fill, and a firing in Chicago would likely leave him
out of coaching next season.
联盟人士表示, 魔术有意与公牛教练Thib讨论教练职缺, 但魔术并不想要给出他们的
选秀签补偿以得到Thib. 芝加哥管理层正等待球队送出选秀签以聘请Thib, 但目前这还
没有发生. 公牛似乎决定继续留着Thib直到他们找的新教练.
Skiles has a career regular-season coaching record of 443-433 and 18-24 in
the playoffs. He reached the conference semifinals once each in Phoenix and
Chicago.
Skiles resigned as Bucks coach in 2013 and has been living in the Orlando
area for most of the time since his dismissal.
Skiles生涯例行赛的战绩为443-433, 以及18-24的季后赛成绩. 他在凤凰城与芝加哥各
闯过一次分区准决赛.
Skiles在2013年辞去公鹿教练的职务, 自从辞职后他大部分的时间都住在奥兰多.
