Apparently, Flip Saunders thought he had the Orlando coaching job locked up, but then GM John Weisbrod lost a power struggle. In addition to coaching, Saunders would have been No. 2 to Weisbrod in terms of personnel decisions. But then Magic owner Rich DeVos vetoed the move, opting to give personnel director Dave Twardzik more power and bring back Brian Hill as coach. This is the first mention of this scenario anywhere but Weisbrod's sudden resignation without an NHL job has many believing that he was forced out.</div> Source Man to think we were that close to hiring Flip! Hill better do a good job considering we could have hired Saunders instead.
