At 10pm on June 6, the Orlando Magic released a statement to all media outlets, including RealGM, saying that head coach Billy Donovan is now free to re-join the University of Florida.

As our signing of Billy Donovan showed, we are committed to winning a championship. We have the legal right to hold Billy to the contract he signed, but with him having a change of heart about leaving college basketball, we want him at the University of Florida. We have granted him permission to break his commitment and return to the Gators.
