    No college coaches. Seems like so many fail in the NBA these days

    I'm thinking that article is not in English. But the pictures are nice.

    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.

    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.

    Rick Carlisle should be considered.

    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! :D

    There is a more qualified Billy out there in college land... Here are some of his credentials...

    Billy Clyde Gillispie Facts:

    1. In a recruiting fight between Coach K. and Billy D., BCG wins.
    2. BCG met every high school coach in America. Twice.
    3. BCG does not go recruiting because the word recruit infers the possibility of failure. BCG goes signing.
    4. If you can see BCG, he is recruiting you. If you can’t see BCG you may be only seconds away from from signing a LOI.
    5. When Ricky P. goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for BCG.
    6. There are no recruits on mars. BCG checked.
    7. BCG invented text messaging.
    8. BCG didn’t leave his Christmas tree up until June. He rescheduled Christmas so it didn’t interfere with his recruiting.
    9. BCG does not sleep. He waits.
    10. Archeologists unearthed an old english dictionary dating back to the year 800 AD. It defined “victim” as “one who has encountered BCG”
    11. The coaching population divides into two groups, those who fear BCG and BCG.
    12. There is no list of recruits at other schools. Just a list of prospects BCG has allowed them to talk to.
    13. BCG’s blood type is B+. Blue Positive.
    14. There are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, BCG lives in Lexington.
    15. If at first you don’t succeed, you’re not BCG.
    16. BCG is 1/8th Basketball. He ate one 2 years ago.
    17. In High school, Billy Clyde was voted “Most likely to make Rick Pitino cry”.
    18. Billy G taught Chuck Norris everything he knows, and Chuck to this day refers to him as coach.

    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.

    In Detroit or in NYC? IT is not wise for Rox management to take such kind of risk now.
