Bozich speculates on Billy Donovan returning to college coaching
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
His speculation on possible job openings for Donovon next year in CB is a whole new subject.
"Remain the coach of a 31-51 NBA team or take the best available job in college basketball, which by 2018 could include Louisville, North Carolina, Duke, UCLA or another spot where a guy with two NCAA championship rings would be handsomely paid and adored."

Who cares...Cal's on a roll and I for one am riding it for all it's worth...
Duke will keep any future job openings within the family IMO.
Awww. How cute of Bozich. What a taint.
Billy D is not gonna leave the NBA for that dumpster fire at UL. Not now, next year or the year after .
That would be a huge step down. I hear he's happy in the NBA .
Ucla ? That would be possible imo
Duke ? Ehh.. I dunno. Idk if Duke would want him despite him being an excellent recruiter and coach

When that banner officially comes down, his seat will boil. Maybe the vile will hold on to him, butt his seat will be HOT!
You gotta stop insulting taints.
Why would Donovan ever coach college again? He's been successful enough that he will have an NBA job for as long as he wants one. I'm pretty sure he's made the comment several times how great it is being able to "just coach basketball" without all of the other hassles that the college game brings.
Definitely not. Billy is wholly and entirely a basketball guy.
He is very happy in the NBA. I don't think he returns, but as much as some hate to hear it-- UL would be a possibility. I think the only possibility.
Do you really "coach" in the NBA? Serious question. I never see any set plays, you're not allowed to zone, there's no strategies. Just give the ball to your best player and let him make a move.
Duke is hiring Capel. Donovan would be a terrible fit in Durham. No way he wants to follow K. That would be incredibly stupid.
Louisville is in terrible shape. He turned down UK twice to end at Louisville? It's not even a top 10 program anymore. They are an afterthought. Not happening.
Ucla? Dont see it.
I see UNC or Kentucky in his future if it happens at all.
I suppose it is possible that there are openings at UL, Duke, UNC, & UCLA. Doubt he takes any of them.
UL - could be a real mess depending on NCAA.
Duke - will keep it in the family.
UNC - could have NCAA penalties + will keep it in the family.
UCLA - maybe, but I don't see Donovan stepping down to be second fiddle in LA.

I can't see him leaving a successful stint in the NBA To Come coach at a probation and banner vacated UL. Even if UL wasn't in the $hit storm they're in , UL would be a drastic step down for him
I sometimes think about Cal's successor and think about Donovan
But I think cal stays long enough that our guy may not be known yet. Donovan will get older and age out, too. Maybe White at Florida becomes successful? There are no names right now who really does the job, so we need Cal to stay

The better question is, do you really coach Russell Westbrook? Can you coach Russell Westbrook? Is Russell Westbrook coachable?
If they do better this year with George and make some more noise, Donovan will be kept around. But if the team is horrible it will be interesting if they blame Westbrook, George or Donovan and thus decide to rebuild. But I would say, Donovan would be a good coach for a rebuild.
Yeah and if that was to happen (which it won't), you know Louisville fans would immediately start with the "our coach has more titles than your coach" garbage.
Donavan wouldn't go to lou. He is his own man now, petino has NO control over him.
That's one of the issues at UNC* - they've kept it in the family and it's become a ceasepool. It's basically like Uofl, run by a criminal cartel
Don't know if you left the extra L out on purpose or accidentally, but either way, I like it!When that banner officially comes down, his seat will boil. Maybe the vile will hold on to him, butt his seat will be HOT!
I'm not so sure "keeping it in the family" is the priority for the heels that it once was. Now that their little AFAM scam's been exposed, they can go after the best available coach.
Unless there's even more skeletons a little deeper in the closet...
On purpose it was left out. It is how I now how I view them, U of vile.

Taint tell you. It's a secret.Taints? What's Taints?
SEXtino told Bozich in an interview before the punishment was announced that he would not be a scapegoat for Andre McGee and he would walk away from Lil Brother and become an analyst I fully believe the Appeal will be denied and the Title will be Vacated then the new President at Loserville will determine that the sewer must be drained and Pitino given his walking papers then a Coaching search will begin .Donovan may be interested in following his old boss maybe not...
Maybe you're right about Capel. I don't know. But is Duke hiring a guy that was fired by Oklahoma just for the sake of "keeping it in the family"?
Pitino once said more coaching is done in a quarter of a single NBA game than is done over the course of an entire college season. Even applying the usual and necessary Pitino Embellishment Discount, say maybe more coaching is done in an NBA week of games than a college season......still.
Taints? What's Taints?
It's the area between the playground and the dump.
100% he will be hired at Duke barring something crazy. Duke will try and float K's legacy as long as they can. K is their Rupp, and they are hoping Capel is their Joe B.
They will learn. It isnt happening.
