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 as a guard for the Providence Final Four team in 1987, and then turning to coaching and registering 467 wins for the Florida Gators, as well as winning back-to-back National Championships for the university.
