ATLANTA – Billy Donovan was hesitant to share the text message from his dad at first.
The Bulls coach thought about it a second, remembered that his defense allowed 150 points to the Hawks just a few nights earlier, and realized it was warranted.
“I don’t know if I should say this but I got a great text from my dad,” Donovan said on Tuesday. “He was texting me about something (on Monday) and he said, ‘I think I could have got 10 last night.’ “
Sure, Billy Donovan Sr. is 80 years old now, but before his text draws a smirk, he was a baller in the 1960s and is still fourth all-time in scoring for Boston College.
