Billy Donovan is getting the OKC Thunder head coaching job
The Oklahoma City Thunder have made a decision as to who should lead Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka, Enes Kanter and friends into the future. Here’s the Oklahoman reporting:
A coaching search that started with Thunder general manager Sam Presti saying he wouldn’t limit the scope of candidates he would consider ended Thursday with Oklahoma City getting the one man it seemed to be after from the start.
Billy Donovan will become the third coach in Thunder history after agreeing to a multi-year deal with the team just one week after Oklahoma City fired Scott Brooks.
Complete terms of the deal are unknown at this time. Yahoo Sports reports the deal is for five years.
Donovan, 49, is a two-time national championship coach at Florida, the program he’s leaving after 19 seasons.
