Random Billy Donovan Thought.

[Diadem 430]

Thought this quote form the other day was interesting if nothing more than wishful thinking on my part.


"Could the frustration of this season finally push him to make the leap for a new challenge?" Quote from Tampa bay Times aka St Pete times

I live in the Tampa area and of course college basketball barely rates a yawn when compared to football. Not wishing ill will towards Coach Crean But I gotta admit that the thought of Billy Donovan looking for a new challenge [ IU? ] might be really nice!

He would fire up our fanbase. It won't happen. Were too cursed.

[Crimson and Cream 5,693]

I've been praying for him for a couple weeks now. Florida is struggling, and the chance to bring IU back to glory would be a challenge, but very rewarding if (when) he succeeded. He would be worshipped around here.

Plus he would get a shot a Pitino, his coach.

Why couldn't we get him? The timing couldn't be better IMO. Go ahead Fred, talk to Billy and get this set up.

So if this scenario came to fruition AND Ca$h-Money-Cal left UK for the NBA, just how terrible would the SEC be?

[djsalway 4,161]

So have we flown down to see him yet? People still at their posts on flightaware?

About as terrible as our defense....

Welp, this secondary topic is closed/won. You can put that on your sig-line as well.

[Diadem 430]

OK, I've got this all figured out. Donovan goes to the Celtics, Crean to Florida [All the Tanning you could ask for] and then Stevens to IU . We could figure the money stuff later.

[Alford Bailey 12,218]

Love Stevens. He's my first pick but Billy the Kid is right there, I mean right on his heels.....

I actually lean Donovan with Stevens right on his heels. I think Donovan's offense is more watchable / fun but Stevens has never had the Talent Donovan has so who knows. Either one could really lock up the State but Donovan might have a more National recruiting appeal.

Yea, I think you could very easily make the argument for Donovan.

That was too easy to pass up.

[KelleyHoosh 2,263]

Yeah I definitely prefer Donovan. He has actually won (I'm sure Stevens has the capacity to, obviously) national championships. And he has proven he can recruit at a high level.

[TomPritchard25 526]

Mmmm I don't like it. No.

Please, NO. I live in Gainesville.

Rumored here in southern Indiana is Matt Jones had some calls today from angry UK fans because Donovan is interested in the IU job

Basketball at Florida is a distant third behind football and baseball. Come to IU Billy and allow us to annoint you King!
