June 1, 200719 yr ESPN just reported that Billy D has informed Florida that he will be taking the Orlando job. 5 years 5.5 million a year. After he goes on his high and mighty pledge of alliegence to Fla.!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I Love It.

June 1, 200719 yr Big bucks for Billy D. Any perdictions on his success in Orlando? I for one think he will do very well and have the Magic in the upper echelon in the NBA within 3 years.
June 1, 200719 yr I like Billy D, but colleges coaches over the past couple of decades have not faired well in the NBA. Pitino, Calipari, Kruger, Carlisimo, Tarkanian, etc. are some that come to mind. It seems to me that the game and the personel are so much different. I hope he surrounds himself with the right people and is sucessful, but history is not on his side. Personally I think you have to go to the NBA as an assistant for a while to be sucessful as a head coach there.

Even if Billy D is not very successful, he will be able to choose his college when and i say when he wants to come back!!!!!
June 1, 200719 yr As a UK fan, I'll be honest in saying that I was kinda dissapointed to see BD go to Orlando. I'm happy with BCG and would've liked to see a rivalry develop between the two. This takes away from that.
June 1, 200719 yr :lol: :lol: :lol: This changes things a bit...I wonder what kinds of articles we'll be seeing to follow up all the ones about how Florida had supplanted UK and how Donovan wasn't interested in UK because Florida was the better job. Seems he wasn't interested in UK, or Florida... ...sorry, I can't help but laugh. In all honesty, I wish he would have stayed at UF because it would have been fun battling it out with them on a yearly basis. But, good luck in Orlando.
June 1, 200719 yr "He's about to eat a lot of filet mignons," former Gator Joakim Noah said at the NBA pre-draft camp in Orlando. The best quote on this situation.....

The NBA was the only place Billy was going to leave Florida for. If you go back and look I said that two months ago when all that was going on.
