A great college coach jumps to the NBA - Good luck Billy

Billy Donovan, the great coach from Florida has jumped from the college ranks to the professional ranks, becoming the next head coach of the Orlando Magic.

I really like college basketball.  Starting in the fall with the Great Alaska Shootout, all the way to the Final Four.  It's a great game.

Much better than the pro game in my opinion.  Faster, with more strategy and "hunger" from the players to win.

Billy Donovan has had a great run at Florida.  I rooted for him almost as much as Coach K.  Or John Thompson when he was still coaching.  Or Tark The Shark at UNLV.  Great coaches.

I wish you well Billy.  Do well with the Magic.
