Looks like Billy Donovan won't be back with OKC next year.

Oats needs to follow the Saban model and make Eddie Munster an analyst. That way if a blueblood comes poaching Nate, we have a replacement in house.

He hasn't been a disaster in the NBA like most college coaches turn out to be so it'll be interesting to see what he decides to do. If he opts to return to college basketball there will be a bidding war for him next offseason, so he may be able to end up making more money than he would in the NBA.

I have no doubt Donovan will crush if he ends up back in college. Dude can coach. Hopefully, he stays out of the SEC.

The proposal would allow 346 D1 schools into the tournament to "celebrate basketball" and is the brain child of Coach K.

Assuming Billy D. doesn't stick with NBA (Bulls are looking at him), I think he ends up at a program like Georgetown or St. John's. He takes Catholicism seriously plus those locations are more up to his speed.

I bet he ends up back at UF. They are growing tired of Mike White IMO

The University of Alabama Men’s Basketball Team recently installed the most advanced version of the Noah Shooting System in their practice and game facilities, making them the first SEC team to utilize the Automatic Shooter Identification used primarily at the NBA level.
With one year of leading the Tide under his belt, Coach Oats made clear the caliber of program he is creating under his watch. With a new brand of basketball in Tuscaloosa, adopting the Noah Shooting System will help players accurately track their shots, resulting in even more improved shooting percentages.
“There isn’t a better system on the market to help shooters than the Noah system,” said University of Alabama Head Coach, Nate Oats. “With the emphasis we put on perimeter shooting, it’s imperative we give our shooters the most current and cutting-edge technology available to help them reach their potential. Both coaches and players are able to receive instant feedback and other valuable data on a daily basis. This system will greatly aid our current players, former pros that return to train in Tuscaloosa, and future recruits in their quests to become the best shooters in the game.”
The University of Alabama is now the first SEC team to utilize Noah’s Automatic Shooter Identification, or facial recognition, which is the newest enhancement in a long list of features making the Noah system a one-of-a-kind shooting technology capturing a unique data set never available before. At the 2019 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, Noah Basketball officially unveiled the Automatic Shooter ID technology with facial recognition. This added feature automatically tags every shot from live games, team workouts, or individual drills, by player and instantly uploads it to Noahlytics, Noah’s accompanying data service, for analysis. This eliminates the need for manually tracking each individual player’s shot. The program also records short videos of each shot, providing situational awareness on every attempt. Noah’s Automatic Shooter ID will track shots specific to each player, no matter where they are on the court without the need for additional wearables on players or technology in the ball.
The three champions of 2019 - Virginia Cavaliers in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship, Toronto Raptors in the NBA Finals and Washington Mystics in the WNBA Finals - are all users of the Noah Basketball Shooting System. These teams saw improvement in shooting percentage and performance from individual players, leading them to success in their respective organization or league. It’s safe to say they’re hoping to see the same kind of progress in Tuscaloosa this coming season.

Please, sweet baby Jesus, don't let Eddie Munster land back in Gainesville!

Obviously I have no inside info here but the general buzz when the OKC/Donovan parting ways story broke the other night seemed to indicate there were going to be several NBA teams interested in him. Pretty good teams too, Sixers for example. Obv maybe the guy could want to go back to college but seems more likely he'll do another stint in the NBA at this point.

I hope he goes to the Bulls, but apparently he wanted out of OKC because he didn't want to take part in a rebuilding project so not sure the Bulls situation would be attractive to him.

This may come as a surprise, but every team won't be in the NCAA Tournament this year.
