Florida basketball coach Billy Donovan signed a multiyear contract on Friday, 16 months after he backed out of an agreement to coach the Orlando Magic and decided to remain with the Gators. The contract has been on the table since last year. Despite speculation about the delay, Donovan and Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley had said there was no set timetable to sign, and that both sides were amenable to the contract.

Hope Florida makes the tourney this year, we're still looking for revenge. What a phenomenal team that was. I have no idea how Donavan convinced those kids to all come back....he must have had scandalous pictures of them.
