WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?
"With Brian's experience, maturity and acumen, he did a terrific job for us. He did a terrific job in a year and a half with us and I'm sure he's going to do a terrific job in Orlando." – New Jersey Nets president Rod Thorn
“I'm really happy to see him back. Not many people get a second chance like this. He'll do well." – former Orlando Magic player under Hill Nick Anderson
"He was great for my career. That's one reason why I'm really happy he's getting this chance. And I'm sure he's learned from any mistakes he made. Dealing with Shaq and Penny, then working in New Jersey on that staff, he has plenty of good experience behind him. Brian is one of the guys who helped build that franchise. Bringing him back is only a plus for everyone there." – Dennis Scott, former Orlando Magic player under Hill
“Hill might have left to work elsewhere in the past eight years, but he never really left Orlando. And the admiration was a two-way street.” – Ken Hornack, Daytona Beach News Journal
"That's great news [that he's back]. I'm really happy for Brian. It's a team correcting a wrong. I'm really glad to see him get that job. He deserves it." – Miami Heat assistant coach Ron Rothstein
"Nothing is strange in this business. I've coached against Brian. He took (the Magic) to the Finals. He really helped New Jersey [the past two years as an assistant]. He's always been there, and he's a very capable coach." Detroit Pistons head coach Larry Brown
"I know it's great for him to be home and with his daughter near there, and her medical condition. That stuff is more important than anything. Brian is a class guy, and it's great that he's back." Miami Heat head coach Stan Van Gundy
