Billy D

The whole Billy situation still seems very surreal. I think it's because everything seems to be happening so fast. There weren't anymore major developments today. We still don't know for sure, but are speculating that Billy will be returning to UF. And rumor has it that the Magic have offered the head coaching job to former Heat head coach Stan Van Gundy. In addition to the numerous changes the Magic will have to make, they've altered their website. Starting last week the website opened with a huge picture of Billy and mentioning something about him bringing a "Championship Spirit" to Orlando. Now the site just goes to the main page where you can read the Magic's official statement about Billy.

Some guy called the office today and said that he is a Bull Gator and needs to know if Billy is staying or going. After I told him that I don't have that information he said he wanted to speak to someone who did. Why don't people seem to understand that we're not just going to give out that kind of information to every random person who calls or comes by the office. Another guy wanted me to personally give a message to Billy. People seem to have the wrong idea. I'm probably the last person in the office who'd be able to get in contact with Billy right now.

This whole thing has just been really intense. I feel like Billy can't go anywhere to just sort through his thoughts in peace. With reporters showing up at his house, his office, and anywhere else he might show his face in Gainesville he doesn't seem to be safe anywhere. I'm hoping that this will all be resolved as soon as possible so that everyone can start to move on.
