There is a growing sense among NBA executives that Florida Gators coach Billy Donovan is looking to making the jump to the NBA more than ever before, according to league sources
Sources told ESPN.com that Donovan is poised to draw interest from multiple NBA teams this offseason and is increasingly prepared to listen to those pitches after the Gators endured a 16-17 season in which they failed to qualify for postseason play for just the second time in Donovan's nearly two decades in Gainesville.

Jump ship whenever you stock lower than it has ever been? Makes sense

O/U 2.5 days

Good move for both parties IMO.

His NBA stock is fine. But it's definitely easier for him to leave Florida right now since he knows he's got work to do there.

Maybe he can coach the Magic for another 15 minutes

He just signed an extension.

but the contract contains a buyout for a mere $500,000 if an NBA opportunity arises.
Oh noes.

Not falling for this again.

Just found it weird the extension is reported the same day as this.

Maybe tried to beat it to the punch to keep the recruits from fleeing? Always tactics behind it all from both sides, but the fact that it has an extremely low NBA buyout clause is pretty telling that he's gone IMO.

Eh I wouldn't be so sure. It hasn't changed, it's still the same it has been for last few years. After the Magic debacle I won't believe until he coaches a game

UFfansince1950 will be here shortly to tell us that he'll automatically be the best coach in the nba

Thibs fired, Donovan to Chicago to once again coach Noah, which sends Noah into a perpetual state of confusion and ruins his career.

I don't get it

I could see him going this time. At least from an outsider, it appeared that this year's team frustrated the hell out of him. Maybe he wants to be done with college kids for a bit. It's not like he couldn't come back to the college game and get a big-time job if he wanted it.

The school didn't officially report it, he signed the extension back in December. Someone that was looking into this story just happened to get the info and then reported it.
