ORLANDO (AP) _ The Orlando Magic are offering a refund to fans who bought season tickets after Billy Donovan was introduced as the team's head coach two weeks ago.

More than 200 season ticket packages were sold within 24 hours after the announcement of Donovan's hiring from the University of Florida, where he won consecutive national championships. Donovan quickly had second thoughts about taking the Orlando job and was eventually released from his contract. He's returned to Florida.

Magic officials say they are contacting anyone who purchased season tickets within 48 hours after Donovan's hiring and offering a refund.
