The Oklahoma City Thunder are set for a new era under recently-hired head coach Billy Donovan, and it look like he's ready to start putting his stamp on the coaching staff as a whole going forward.
According to Pat Dooley of the Gainesville Sun, Florida Gators assistant Anthony Grant will be on his way to OKC to join his former coach on the Thunder's staff:
Told tonight Anthony Grant definitely following Billy D to OKC.

Donovan and Grant first teamed up back in 1994 when a 28-year-old Donovan hired Grant to join his staff at Marshall. Grant followed Donovan to Florida in 1996 and was promoted to associate head coach in 2002.
Grant went on to head-coaching gigs of his own at VCU and Alabama, but rejoined Donovan's Gators staff after being fired by the Crimson Tide in March. Donovan would leave for the Thudner just a couple weeks after hiring Grant back, but it doesn't appear the two will be apart for long.
