There's no coach that I can think of that does more with less than Billy the Kid.

No Sr UF player drafted but still gets it done. Imagine what he could do with the talent at blue blood schools like UNC or Kansas.

His success is the equivalent of say a UK Or Arky football National Championship or regular BCS bowl wins.

It's really remarkable.

Here's to you Billy D!

On Opposite Day this thread would be about UG.

I thought he was great during his child acting days as well.

The guy is definitely talented on many levels.

That's why I like Billy D teams. He gets great players who stick around for multiple years.

He can never get too much appreciation, he has done some incredible things. When they finish the renovation of the O'Dome, it is probably time to rename it for him.

He's had 4 5*'s in the last 3 years or whatever. Plus, multiple 4*'s.

Young was a 5* that wasn't drafted. Maybe Billy just doesn't set these guys up well for the NBA? If so, I can see why kids veer from playing at Florida.

Best SEC basketball coach since Nolan.



Donovan is a boss.

Am I crazy or did the 06-07 teams have 4 first round draft picks?

I usually bash every SEC program. I have no love for anyone else besides LSU.

But I can honestly say I have nothing negative to say about BD. dude is a badass. Him and UK have kept SEC basketball on the map

I'm not sure I would go that far, but he is an elite coach.
