Donovan to UK?

MY Fox Orlando says Billy Donovan will become the next UK basketball coach.
Kentucky has reportedly waited until a replacement coach is in place before letting go of Gillispie, who spent two seasons in Lexington.

It will be interesting how this all plays out. Was it bad timing two years ago? Is now a good time to leave Gainesville? Can he really turn down an offer to coach Pat Patterson and Jodie Meeks along with some possible gangsta recruits? Why wouldn't he want to be at the reigns of the first program to reach 2000 victories?


For those of you stuck at work, or otherwise don't have access to a TV, the news conference will be on WKYT.com. On the main page, above BCG's pic and the announcement of the firing, click on the banner that says "UK Basketball Special Coverage".

  3. If it is Donovan, it makes sense to do it quick. He has that clause in his contract that if he leaves before April 1st, UK doesn't have to pay a $500k buyout.

  7. this will be a total change of philosphy over the previous two coaches. Billy D plays fast and sexy,and yes, sometimes soft.That is if he doesn't back out and coach the magic.
