If Thunder win the 2016 championship(over 67 wins Spurs, 73 wins Warriors and prime Lebron), I cant imagine how people will make statements about Billy.

I met him in Nashville @ the SEC tournament during a visit with underprivileged kids. I have never heard such a caring eloquent speech to kids. He is a wonderful man and I will never forget how he touched the kids with his words. Well deserved Mr. Donovan

I know this guy’s NBA coaching journey has been filled with ups and downs, but still congratulations to him for his accomplishments at Florida for leading the Gators to back-to-back NCAA championships in 2006 and 2006.

Congratulations Coach on making it into the Hall of Fame! I vividly remember that Florida college championship team with Joakim, Horford and that crew. Why does it seem that the coaches have more time to speak than anyone? It’s actually not true but a testament to time management and Coaches mastered that!✌🏾

Surprised Billy didn’t thank Joe Mullaney, the Providence College coach who took a chance on him. Ill give him the benefit of the doubt that he forgot to mention Coach Mullaney, but it’s ironic that he emphasizes loyalty & personal relationships and not talk about the coach that brought him out of Long Island

My only meeting with Billy D was at Alumni Hall when he and another guard on the team Donnie Brown asked me if I wanted to play a one on one on one. It is still my best win. Congratulations on an unbelievable career!
