CONGRATULATIONS TO SHAN LOO,
2011-12 JUNIOR MAGIC COACH OF THE YEAR!




Shan Loo was recently recognized at an Orlando Magic home game for having won the 2011-12 Junior Magic Coach of the Year award. A three year volunteer at the Magic’s tNBA/RDV league, Coach Shan was selected from a pool of nominees and chosen not only because of his team’s on-court achievements, but because of his excellence in the areas of sportsmanship, leadership, teamwork and fair play.

“He’s a solid person, coach and dad” said the league’s director “and I can’t imagine anyone better than him to get the award.”

Congratulations, Coach Shan, and thank you for your contributions to the Junior Magic program!
