Billy Donovan, HC
The current member of the Bulls that definitely has the best odds, as it stands now, to get into the Hall of Fame thanks to a decorated basketball career is their first-year head coach Billy Donovan. The former Oklahoma City Thunder, Florida Gators, and Marshall Thundering Herd head coach has a lot of accolades and accomplishments to his name.
The 55-year-old Rockville Center, NY, native and one-time NBA Coach of the Month is getting close to reaching the 300-win mark in his career. And he’s got a solid winning percentage as a head coach in the regular season north of 58. It’s just up to Donovan to now start winning more often in the postseason. Maybe the Bulls can give him the resources to do so this offseason.
Most of the accolades Donovan has as a head coach came during his time at the college hoops level, though. The former Providence Friar won eight regular season conference titles, four conference tournament crowns, went to the Final Four on four occasions, and won two National Championships, at the college level.
All of the Final Four appearances, and both National Championships for Donovan, came to him during his impressive coaching run with the Gators. To add to all of these accolades for Donovan during his time as a head coach in college, he was a three-time SEC Coach of the Year, a one-time Southern Conference Coach of the Year, and was the recipient of the John R. Wooden Legends of Coaching Award in 2010.
