Give Philadelphia credit. They're never out of it, they keep playing. It's a great tribute to Brett.

Billy Donovan

William John Donovan, Jr. is an American professional basketball coach who is currently the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder of the National Basketball Association. He previously spent 19 seasons at the University of Florida, where his Florida Gators men's basketball teams won two NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championships in 2006 and 2007. Donovan has more wins than any other coach in the history of the Florida basketball program, and has coached the Gators to more NCAA tournament appearances and more Southeastern Conference regular season and tournament championships than all other coaches in program history combined. Donovan was born and raised in Rockville Centre on Long Island, New York. As the starting point guard for Rick Pitino's Providence Friars men's basketball team, Donovan led the Friars to the 1987 Final Four. As such, he is one of only four men to appear in the NCAA Final Four as a player and win the NCAA national championship as a coach. Before his tenure at Florida, Donovan spent most of the 1987-88 season as a reserve guard for the National Basketball Association's New York Knicks, who at the time were coached by his college coach, Rick Pitino.
