What for, exactly? He made the tournament and lost to a team going to the sweet 16 by two points. We won more games, they had a significantly harder schedule. We beat them by 1 point when we played.

None of this is to say I think he’s a better coach, or will be in the long haul, or we made the wrong decision, but nothing happened that makes it reasonable to take a victory lap on anyone that wanted Will Wade

He would have been one and done at Miami. Not sure if you've been following today but he's about to boomerang back to LSU.

Billy Donovan didn’t deny interest in the UNC job that opened Tuesday night, when the university parted ways with Hubert Davis. Donovan didn’t come close to doing that.

The Chicago Bulls head coach said the correct things on Wednesday evening when asked about his potential interest in being the next University of North Carolina head coach. He stated that he is the head coach in Chicago and discussed focusing on the Bulls’ next stretch of games. He talked about concentrating on a roster that changed dramatically at the February trade deadline.

“My main focus is on these guys and this new team,” Donovan said before the Bulls faced the Philadelphia 76ers. “I understand that there’s stuff out there, and I understand that there is going to be certain speculation. But, I have to concentrate on this group, and really, my focus is on what we’re doing here in Chicago and having a game tonight, and traveling to go and play in a back-to-back.”

“Over the years, I’ve had a lot of college guys reach out to talk to me,” Donovan said. “It’s different in dealing with players who are being paid now. I also think the cycle of the NBA today is totally different than the cycle of college. I’m focused on what I have to do right now. Like anything else, things are always changing in the game of basketball.”
