Florida hires Louisiana Tech's Michael White as men's basketball coach

Posted May 8, 2015
Florida completed a swift and stealthy search to replace Billy Donovan by announcing Thursday that it had hired Louisiana Tech's Michael White as its next basketball coach. Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley flew out of Gainesville Thursday morning and met with White during the day to finalize a deal that will pay the 38-year-old an average of $2 million a year over six years. White does not bring a splashy résumé to the job – but neither did Donovan when he arrived from Marshall 19 years ago. (Yahoo! Sports)
