This market will resolve according to the person who is appointed as the next permanent head coach of the Orlando Magic. If no permanent head coach is appointed by October 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "Other." Appointments of 'interim,' 'caretaker,' or other non-permanent head coaches will not impact this market's resolution. An announcement of a new permanent head coach’s appointment before this market's close date will immediately resolve this market to the corresponding option, regardless of when the announced appointment goes into effect. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Orlando Magic; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.The Orlando Magic's dismissal of head coach Jamahl Mosley on May 4, following a third straight first-round playoff exit, has ignited a wide-open coaching search, leaving trader consensus evenly split at 49.5% across top candidates like Mike Budenholzer, James Borrego, Terry Stotts, and others. With no interviews reported yet, the market reflects uncertainty in matching a veteran tactician—such as Billy Donovan (prior Magic ties), Tom Thibodeau (defensive specialist), or Doc Rivers—to Orlando's young core led by Paolo Banchero amid playoff frustrations. Assistants like Sam Cassell and Sean Sweeney, college standouts Dusty May and Dan Hurley, and longshots like Steve Kerr add depth, keeping implied probabilities tightly bunched as the coaching carousel spins.
