The Florida men’s basketball program is expected to hire San Francisco’s Todd Golden, according to Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde. ESPN’s Pete Thamel first reported the news, saying the two sides are expected to “move quickly” after the Dons’ loss on Thursday night.
Florida previous coach Mike White left the program on March 13 to replace Tom Crean at Georgia.
So, when No. 10 seed San Francisco lost 92–87 in the first round to No. 7 Murray State on Thursday night, the Gators were right on top of Golden to seal the deal with their new coach.
