MY GUESS THAT BILLY THE KID WILL BE COACHING IN THE NBA NEXT YEAR.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-27-2015, 06:03 AM:

Nah, Really? What makes you say that?

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-27-2015, 11:17 AM:

You never know about Billy but wouldn't bet on it.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-27-2015, 11:19 AM:

Billy has a great thing going in Florida and they think the world of him. I think he is here for life but you never know for sure.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-27-2015, 01:03 PM:

I think the powers that be give billy a pass for this year

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-27-2015, 01:18 PM:

He's already the winningest coach in FL history!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-27-2015, 01:23 PM:

The powers to be gave Billy a pass a few years back. They love him down here and don't blame them he is as good as a basketball coach as there is. A real class act.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-27-2015, 01:24 PM:

I can see Billy spending the rest of his coaching career at Florida.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-27-2015, 01:28 PM:

Pretty good resume at Florida:

Florida (464-184)

Conference Champion: 8 Times (Reg. Seas.), 4 Times.

NCAA Tournament: 14 Years (35-12), 4 Final Fours, 2 Championships NCAA Champion: 2006 and 2007

Plus, it's Florida. I'm sure they care more about football.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-27-2015, 06:51 PM:

Never a truer work spoken, Paul!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-27-2015, 10:58 PM:

Florida is awfully competitive in most all sports but they can't match our basketball resume.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-28-2015, 12:52 AM:

Florida has won 3 National Championships in football 1996, 2006 and 2008. They have won 2 National Championships in basketball 2006 and 2007.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-28-2015, 09:05 AM:

The thing that Florida would have to ask themselves is, Can we find another coach as good or better than what we have, We can all answer that question for them. It's not going to happen!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-28-2015, 10:52 AM:

Why would Florida ask themselves about another coach? Looks like they are doing well with the one they have.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-28-2015, 10:56 AM:

Yeah, unless Billy decided to jump ship, (I don't se that happening) he's there until he gets tired or retirement!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-28-2015, 02:30 PM:

Billy is there till he retires and don't blame him one bit.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-28-2015, 02:47 PM:

With the money he's making, I don't think he's under that much pressure down there!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-28-2015, 03:32 PM:

His wife and her family I believe is a big part is why he is there.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-28-2015, 03:33 PM:

They worship the ground he walks on at Florida.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-28-2015, 03:34 PM:

I guess when you win 2 National Championships that's what happens.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-28-2015, 03:42 PM:

Yeah especially in a state that isn't that big on basketball to begin with!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-28-2015, 03:44 PM:

It's also the reason why the Pelphry's are down there too. They believe in family!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 03-01-2015, 03:24 PM:

You would be surprised how many basketball fans there are in Florida.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 03-01-2015, 03:25 PM:

There are a lot of transplants from the north that love their basketball and root for their teams.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 03-01-2015, 03:27 PM:

You can't believe how many school flags are out in the yards in our neighbor hood during the football and basketball seasons.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 03-01-2015, 03:28 PM:

I have worn out 2 UK flags since we have lived in Florida!~ [Wink]

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2015, 03:45 PM:

I've worn out several here too. Remember, I live in Hoosier country!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2015, 03:45 PM:

I figured, if there were basketball fans down there, they probably were transplanted!

Posted by FlaCatz (Member # 925) on 03-01-2015, 09:53 PM:

I lived in Florida for 14 years..... I lived there when I signed on to TCD..... hence.... FlaCatz

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2015, 10:00 PM:

I've often wondered since you lived just down the road from me!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 03-02-2015, 01:50 AM:

FC where in Florida did you live?

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-02-2015, 06:23 AM:

I have some former schoo mates that now live down near Daytona myself!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 03-02-2015, 10:56 AM:

Good for you MH you ought to take your vacation and go down and visit you school mates.
