GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Former Florida coach Billy Donovan wiped tears from his eyes when he first saw the court that will forever bear his name.
Donovan returned to the place he put on the college basketball map for the first time in nearly five years to see the O'Connell Center floor named after him. His signature was placed at both ends, between the 3-point line and the key.
Donovan, who starred at Providence College as a player, and his family got a private unveiling on Friday and a public celebration on Saturday night at halftime of Florida's 84-66 victory over Vanderbilt.
