00:00We aren't privy to the details, but human nature says that if you are somebody coming off of a long
00:07season,
00:07certainly you are entitled time to decompress and to reevaluate and to consider all of the things that maybe you
00:16need to consider
00:17when you're not worried about the day-to-day grind.
00:21But I do also think you have to be cognizant of the fact that it's professional sports and the calendar
00:28really stops for nobody.
00:30Billy Donovan taking his time deliberating isn't good because it suggests that if he were gung-ho about coming back
00:40and let's go,
00:41let's find our GM, let's get going with this, let's start to win or let's start to plot how we're
00:47going to win,
00:48that would have been an easier thing to do in 48 hours.
00:52The first 48.
00:54You have to wait 48 to decompress, right?
00:57To sleep in, to have a cup of coffee, to talk it over with your family, to think, all right,
01:02now what?
01:03I don't think that he's sitting around in Florida at home pondering his future every hour.
01:10He's got to know.
01:12You got to know.
01:14And if he knows and hasn't really indicated to the Bulls what's going on, then he's still considering it.
01:22And I don't think that's the case.
01:24If you are in, you're in.
01:26And I am not working on this and reporting anything.
01:30And, you know, you talk to people around it and they're giving him the space that I think that he
01:34has earned.
01:35But I would be surprised at this point, Friday, if he's back just because I thought we would know by
01:42now.
01:42Yeah.
01:43So it's going to happen this way.
01:44You know what's going to happen.
01:45This afternoon, about 3.30, we're going to get an announcement that the Bulls and Billy Donovan decided to part
01:51ways.
01:52The thing of it is to keep an eye on, and we've talked about this and I've been taking a
01:59little heat from this,
01:59But, like, if the Bulls have Billy Donovan under contract and he decides to move on from Chicago and goes
02:07to coach elsewhere, why would they let him?
02:11But that's a conversation for another day.
02:14Let's wait and see.
02:15He could still possibly come back.
02:16But your gut starts to say that would be a surprise at this point.
