I see Billy Donovan as a fixture at Florida for a long time. It would take something very special for him to leave. |
I think he's done a phenomenal job and hasn't got the recognition he's deserved for a guy that's proven he can win in a tough situation. I'm kind of surprised his name hasn't popped up before now. |
I think his comfort zone will happen next year when he can go back in the post. Because right now he's trying to do things he didn't do in high school. Obviously, he's a talented player. He shows moments out there of passing ability, post-up ability, rebounding ability -- that he's outstanding. |
I think if they can get eight (ACC) wins, they've got a great chance. I think it's mandatory to win one of the next two. And obviously a win over Duke would be absolutely an eye-catcher. |
I think they are a very dangerous basketball team, a team that could create a lot of problems. |
I told him she isn't interested in selling yet. |
I went to church and Jim and his wife, Liz, went to see the home. |
I'd like to see some of the teams that got in play in the Big East or ACC and go 9-7, 8-8 in those leagues. Don't tell us you're picking the best 34 at-large teams. |
I'd say Illinois, Michigan State and Indiana will probably be the top of the class. But one thing is this year, the league has a lot of balance. When I mention Illinois, Indiana and Michigan State, they are probably the best teams but they aren't going to dominate. |
I'm absolutely shocked. I can't believe he went that high. |
I'm living the American dream. |
If you can bring in a couple of [top] players you can change it in a hurry. A realistic goal would be reaching the Big East Tournament, but I would think they would want to achieve higher than that. |
In my 27 years of calling games for ESPN, I have never ever seen a player take more verbal abuse than he has taken. |
In my mind, he's done an amazing job, and he's certainly one of the favorites for national coach of the year. To think what's done there after losing so much from last year's team, it just blows my mind. |
It is great to see that D.C. hoops are back in a big way with as many as four possible tournament teams. You have quality coaches who recruit quality kids and they keep the great local kids at home. Yep, college basketball in D.C. is as good as any other area in the country. |
