As a thunder fan I think Billy is a great man. Congrats coach! Wish we woulda won that chip with u, KD, and Russ in 2016.
I guess he’s in it because of the Olympics. Only way this makes sense to me

As a bulls fan what did he do to change the organization around
So happy for Coach when they won in 06 and 07! A great team to watch!🐐
I met him in Nashville @ the SEC tournament during a visit with underprivileged kids. I have never heard such a caring eloquent speech to kids. He is a wonderful man and I will never forget how he touched the kids with his words. Well deserved Mr. Donovan
I scored 25,000 points in the YMCA LEAGUE CAN I MAKE THE NBA HOF. EVERYONE MAKES IT NOW
Billy deserves every accolade. What a great legacy he left at Florida. A Gator Great!
I know this guy's NBA coaching journey has been filled with ups and downs, but still congratulations to him for his accomplishments at Florida for leading the Gators to back-to-back NCAA championships in 2006 and 2006.
