Okay, so I was digging around the internet today, trying to find out who the head coach of the Orlando Magic was back in 1988. It turned out to be a bit of a rabbit hole, but a fun one!
My Little Research Adventure
First, I fired up my trusty search engine. You know, the usual suspect. I just typed in something simple like, “Orlando Magic coach 1988”. I wasn’t even sure if the team existed back then!
The initial results were a bit confusing. It showed a bunch of stuff about recent coaches, current players, you name it. Nothing about 1988. So, I changed up my search a bit, maybe added “history” or “past coaches.” Still not quite what I was looking for. I’ll admit it,I was starting to wonder if I was on the right track.
I then decided to check some fan forums. Those places are usually filled with people who know every little detail about their team, right? I scrolled through some threads, read some old discussions, and…bingo! I found a few mentions of the team’s early years. It was becoming pretty clear that the Magic didn’t even play their first game until 1989. I was just a little bit early, one year to be exact.
Finally, I stumbled upon this old article. It was all about the formation of the Orlando Magic and their first few seasons. And there it was, plain as day, the Magic were formed in 1989, which means in 1988 they didn’t even exist.
So, there you have it! It was a bit of a wild goose chase, but I learned something new. I’m glad I stuck with it, though. It’s always satisfying to finally find what you’re looking for, even if it’s not exactly what you expected!
