Within hours the rumor mill had churned out a would-be top contender for the vacant Kentucky position: Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan.
Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan with forward Dalen Terry at the United Center on April 5, 2024. for Arkansas, the rumor mill had already churned out a would-be top contender for the vacant position: Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan.
The connection to Kentucky is logical. Donovan spent five years with the program as an assistant coach under Rick Pitino, during which time the Wildcats took two trips to the Final Four and won three SEC championships. He spoke fondly of his time in Lexington — where two of his children were born — and praised the program, adding that he was “flattered” to be connected to the opening.
But the concept of leaving the Bulls — or the NBA as a whole — is a less convincing prospect for Donovan, who has been candid throughout the years about the ways college basketball has changed since he left Florida in 2015. The Bulls, for their part, are locked in on Donovan despite his 117-119 record over the first three seasons of his tenure in Chicago. Even if the Bulls miss the playoffs for a second consecutive season, the front office is steadfast in its commitment to their head coaching hire.
