yeah, the miller brother's at Arizona and Florida would make their Dad proud. Guess, Grant could go back to dayton.

Oklahoma City's search to replace Scott Brooks is now completely focused on Billy Donovan, and multiple sources told CBSSports.com that, at this point, the most likely scenario has the two-time national champion leaving Florida to coach the Thunder.

How are UF's basketball facilities? I honestly don't know and am wondering. Have there been recent renovations? Are there any planned? It's terrible timing for something like this to happen.

Name a team that sustains success without a good coach? UK? Nope. UNC? Nope.

UF has a great basketball practice facility. Was one of the first and continues to be first class, it is getting a $2 million expansion of the weight room this summer.
The O'Dome needs work, but that is coming in the $65 million overhaul after next season.

Now UF can hire Grant and show us what huge mistake we made since he is GREAT coach.
Seriously though, what is Billy the Kids on and off infatuation with the NBA. It seems to come and go.

I won't believe he's actually leaving until at least a week after they sign a contract.
Then you can confirm you're not dreaming, right?

So Andy Kennedy is pretty much the second best coach in the league now.
Interesting.
Interesting.

UK?

NC?
Those are also both blue blood basketball programs, so it's hard to compare UF to them.

Neither of these guys were successful.
I agree that we aren't a blue blood though, I think we compare to Arizona.
Before Olsen they had been to 3 NCAA tournaments, no Final Fours. In 25 years they won a title and had 4 Final Four appearances. Before Donovan UF had been to 5 NCAA tournaments (3 if you take out those stripped) and a Final Four. In 19 years, we've won 2 titles and 4 Final Fours.

Yea and they hired the hottest coach on the block after Olsen retired.
Who is UF getting at this point that compares to Sean Miller?
Posted on 4/29/15 at 11:22 am to MSUbulldogs03
Right. They are blue blood and still needed good coaches to sustain success.

Road, just throwing a name out there.
Willie Martinez. Would be EPIC! Let's make it happen!

He'll get a shot for sure. It's either him or Mike Bobo.

Oklahoma City GM Sam Presti flew to Florida and met with Billy Donovan on Tuesday, league sources tell Yahoo. Formal offer expected soon.

I hear Gary Crowton might be interested too.

When is Foley leaving? We need a new regime imo.

I think Foley probably goes after Archie Miller. Fits the Foley mold, think there is a good chance he is our next coach.
