A player for the Orlando Magic had a fantastic response to head coach Scott Skiles leaving the team.

Scott Skiles has informed the Orlando Magic that he will be resigning from his position as head coach, according to Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel. Skiles, a former point guard for the Magic, leaves the team after only one season as their head coach. In fact, he accepted the position less than one year ago.

The Magic have an interesting nucleus of young talent on their roster, but have never been able to put it all together. The veteran Skiles whose no-nonsense style of coaching was expected to help whip the Magic back in to shape, but he apparently did not feel up to the job.

Caution: Strong language in tweet below.

Apparently, the players are not too happy with his decision to leave them. Evan Fournier, a 23-year-old outside shooter who started 71 games for Skiles and the Magic this season was one in particular not thrilled with the decision. He took to Twitter to voice his displeasure.

Is Fournier upset because he feels Skiles was good for the team, or does he just know whoever the new coach is will not be crazy enough to start him 71 times in a season?
