Florida Gators hire Louisiana Tech's Michael White as basketball coach

GAINESVILLE — Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said this week he planned to take his time in the search to find someone to replace basketball coach Billy Donovan. He needed to find the right fit, someone with many of the traits Donovan embodied, a coach "who can keep this thing going in the right direction."

 

Foley said the search could last until June. In the end, it took him just three days.

 

On Thursday, Florida hired Louisiana Tech coach Michael White to replace Donovan, who left after 19 years to become an NBA coach with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

 

White, 38, agreed in principle to a six-year deal at an average of $2 million per year. Foley met with his internal staff Monday afternoon after Donovan's farewell news conference, and he said Thursday that White was the leading candidate.

Knew he was from the area but not that he attended USF ... He was one of the names bandied about in out latest coach search.
