Bulls coach Billy Donovan joins the class of ’25 Naismith Hall of Fame

The Bulls have another Hall of Fame coach.

Phil Jackson was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame back in 2007 and Jerry Sloan joined that elite club in 2009.

Doug Collins, who coached the Bulls from 1986-89, entered the Hall in 2024 as a contributor.

Now, go ahead and put Billy Donovan’s name into that exclusive standing.

Donovan earned the honor on Saturday, joining the 2025 class after putting his name on the map with 467 wins for the Florida Gators, as well as winning back-to-back National Championships for the university.

Donovan then took his talents to the NBA and Oklahoma City, posting a 243-157 record, taking the Thunder to the Western Conference Finals in 2015-16 campaign, and earning the Michael H. Goldberg Co-Coach of the Year Award in the 2019-20 season.

He joined the Bulls after he and the Thunder had a mutual parting of ways, and has been in that seat since the 2020-21 season.
