June 1, 200719 yr My hunch came true. The money people at UK had Donovan all but signed sealed and delievered. It is obvious that Donovan had his eyes at the NBA and his agent has been fishing there for a while. You were so right, brother. :thumb:
June 1, 200719 yr My hunch came true. The money people at UK had Donovan all but signed sealed and delievered. It is obvious that Donovan had his eyes at the NBA and his agent has been fishing there for a while. That's right, UK wanted him. And they were prepared to make there offer. (and they might have) That was pretty much the extent of it.
June 1, 200719 yr Wait, let me check. Nope. Rick Pitino's ego, like many others of mythical proportions, cannot be destroyed, only set back. The equivalent of Rick Pitino's ego in terms of strength and epic power is Chuck Norris.
June 1, 200719 yr Author That's right, UK wanted him. And they were prepared to make there offer. (and they might have) That was pretty much the extent of it. More to it than that. Just as Donovan had been scanning the NBA waters...there was a lot to the UK rumors.
June 1, 200719 yr More to it than that. Just as Donovan had been scanning the NBA waters...there was a lot to the UK rumors. You have said in the past he agreed (in principle) to a deal. I said that was not true, and you said it was. It was not.
June 1, 200719 yr Don't be mad because he called it first He had a hunch. I knew it was going down, and knew the details...
June 2, 200719 yr He had a hunch. I knew it was going down, and knew the details... I knew too. Billy Donovan's barber married my 3rd cousin and she called uncle Ralph who called my cousin Bob who talked to my grandmother who called and told me he had agreed in principle to coach the Magic.
June 2, 200719 yr I knew too. Billy Donovan's barber married my 3rd cousin and she called uncle Ralph who called my cousin Bob who talked to my grandmother who called and told me he had agreed in principle to coach the Magic. Good for you...
June 2, 200719 yr Author You have said in the past he agreed (in principle) to a deal. I said that was not true, and you said it was. It was not. Chief, you can call your sources close to Donovan, and I will call on mine. Mine was directly linked to whole negotiation process, the money side. I got info from the guy who led the charge for Donovan and the guy who had the money set up. I spilled it right after BD decided to stay. Principle of deal was money and other stipulations...once UK did that, then Donovan through the agent said he was coming. This had gone on well before TUbby exited....just like the Magic deal for Donovan.
June 2, 200719 yr This is better than him coming to UK, now we dont have to pay him or try to beat him plus we may get some of his players who will defect. :D

This had gone on well before TUbby exited....just like the Magic deal for Donovan. This is where you went wrong the whole time. Sure UK was ready and most likely offered whatever it was you said, it was never seriously considered on the other end. Billy NEVER really entertained the idea of going to UK. I said it in the middle of it all then because it was straight from Billy's mouth. He had a "strong eye on the NBA", not UK. You can have your link to the money side all you want, my link was Billy himself. I'll believe him.
