Billy Donovan said he has not had any contact with the University of Kentucky about their head coaching vacancy and remains committed to the Chicago Bulls.
“I have not been contacted by anybody, I haven’t spoken to anybody,” Donovan told reporters, adding that his answer would remain the same even if he was contacted. “My total commitment and focus is here to this team and to this group.”
John Calipari stepped down as head coach of Kentucky this week for the same job with Arkansas.
Donovan began his coaching career as an assistant coach at Kentucky under Rick Pitino from 1989 until 1993. Donovan won back-to-back national championships at Florida. Donovan left Florida to become head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2015 before joining the Bulls in 2020.
“I’m happy here at this level,” Donovan said. “I know I enjoy coaching and I know I enjoy coaching in the NBA.”
The Bulls have Donovan under contract for two more years.
