2:57pm: Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel confirms (via Twitter) that Vaughn, Curry, and Hunter are indeed the three finalists for the Magic coaching job.
12:59pm: A day after we heard that Brian Shaw and Michael Malone are no longer candidates to coach the Magic, Steve Luhm of the Salt Lake Tribune reports that another name is out of the running. Jeff Hornacek was informed by the team that he's no longer being considered for the head coaching job, according to Luhm.
"It was good to go through the process and talk to them," Hornacek said. "I guess I wasn’t what they were looking for…. We always believe what’s meant to be is meant to be. I guess this wasn’t meant to be."
According to Luhm, Hornacek is expected to return to the Utah bench as an assistant under head coach Tyrone Corbin. Meanwhile, the Magic's coaching candidates seem to have been reduced to Jacque Vaughn, Michael Curry, and Lindsey Hunter, with Vaughn viewed as the favorite.
