I read from tom.com (http://nba.sports.tom.com/2007-05-15/0424/85458949.html) saying that Billy should be one of the candidates considered by the Rox. Any thoughts?
The writer "thinks Billy Donovan should be a candidate"? Rather than the writer "believes Billy Donovan is a candidate"? Very major difference between news and pointless speculation. Evan
Billy isn't leaving Florida, for another college or the NBA. Though he is a good coach on the collegiate level, I don't know that it translates to an NBA atmosphere. Honestly, I think he will stay exactly where he is until they name the floor after him, because if he didn't come to Kentucky, I don't think he will go anywhere.
Considering we're trying to win right now, there's no way we get a rookie NBA coach. Plus the Gators STILL NEED TO WIN A FEW MORE CHAMPIONSHIPS BUWAHAHAHAH!

LOL I love Firebilly.com, it is only surpassed by Firetubby.com. I only wish that the first were true... then I wouldn't be upset that Jai Lucas is going to be in a Gator uniform and have my doubts that Patterson was going to end up in one as well.
