Bulls coach Billy Donovan spent some time as an assistant coach at Kentucky, but that’s about where the rumored link to him taking the current head coach opening ends.

The link between Bulls coach Billy Donovan and the Kentucky job opening makes sense.

After all, before he became a legend in Gainesville, Donovan was an assistant coach to Rick Pitino at Kentucky from 1989-94.

However, that’s about where the rumor dies.

First, a source told the Sun-Times on Tuesday that there has been no communication from the school with Donovan in the wake of John Calipari’s reported departure.
