Billy Donovan Pregame Speech

[erickfly]

Hey!!! Joakim Noah is over there!!! I remember that NCAA title, now I shout every Bull game with him in it. He is an important element.

[junkmailboy1000]

Billy D is a grrreat leader

[MarshallMatrix]

I miss him when he use to coach Marshall Basketball

[jcaudill6921]

Went to his Marshall basketball camp back in 1995. Jason Williams was just known as 'the white guy that could dunk and make awesome passes' during camp.

[toddbass10]

He isn't the highest paid coach in D1. He isn't the highest paid coach in his conference.

[PixKidz]

He is one of the highes paid coaches in D1. He is 4th now. With calapari signing in UK he is second in the SEC

[grant8891]

I don't deny that he's a good coach, but if you're the highest paid coach in D1 basketball and you go to the NIT for the second consecutive year, it really makes you wonder about this investment

[ukspeake12]

Does John Calipari not exist?

[bobolob]

@ukspeake12 Who? ;-)

[Hood52crew]

true but i think he earnd his dollars for uuum oh ya back to back ncaa titles..!

[phillyeagles217]

Billy D is a hell of a coach. I met him once and he is a great guy. The Gators will be back next year once there young players get the feel of the college game.

[kwamezuv1984]

this just in he will quit the gators job to coach the Kentucky wildcats!!!

[TheLiptonGroup]

Anybody know who Billy D's speech writer is.

This was a well written speech.

[wolverine22blue]

Billy Donovan is one of the best coaches in college basketball. Rick Pitino taught him well.

[Stoqua3]

LETS GO!!

[CanadianDiesel]

YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

[BoostedTC]

I've never been a Gators fan because of their players being cocky, but god damn, I do respect them and Billy D of what he can produce. Amazing speech.

[DcuStudios2]

Nice.

[comedyhero3]

God, I lve this speech.

[jhjsaceuwnc]

go magic

[RudyMvp]

the NBA sucks..i dont know whats worse...the NBA or NASCAR...my god!

[tommie66tx]

nascar by far. i dont know how they get all those folks there to watchs omeone drive in a circle 500 times. they must give out free beer and front teeth.

[pizzaface1005]

I knew Billy D would never leave us. He had drank a few to many maritnis from championchip celebrations when he took the magic job, but now his head is all strauightened out. Hopefully the magic will let him leave. Welcome back Billy D, i missed u for a few days!

[vonclay]

Go Magic!!

[atkin733]

Welcome Home Billy!! Sorry Magic fans.GO HEAT!! LOL

[happypedro12]

he's a magic man now folks.

[lionelforbes23]

yes, he is magical.. *poof* he's gone!

[tencz57]

i think so highly of 'billy the kid' that i wish him luck in what ever he does .But, in my heart of hearts he stays a

GATOR 4 ever !!! Go Gators

[danjar7]

He'll be fantastic in royal blue & white.

[gymman1031]

He would be fantastic, but he is going to stay in Gainesville and be fantastic in orange & blue. He built that program from scratch, and I am sure that is very special to Billy. Billy could build up Kentucky, but it was Rupp who built that program from scratch.

[gymman1031]

The only way Billy would go to Kentucky is if his ego gets the best of him. I don't see that happening. Also, he is raising a family in Florida and has the pleasure of having sunshine almost every day. Who agrees?

[daygator]

whew, i hope he's writing a good one now. Go Gators!

[mackcrusher]

You will never hear Bob Knight give a speech like this.

[riskoblivion]

Donovan always gives great speeches.

Is there any chance you have any more of the pre/post-Final Four locker room stuff that they showed? I know they showed some night before stuff and I would love to see it again.

[keronjm]

one of the best ever

[gator804]

Nice Todd!
