According to a report from ESPN's Marc Stein, there's "a growing sense in NBA coaching circles that Florida's Billy Donovan will give renewed consideration to making a move to the pros."

Donovan recently concluded a 16-17 season with Florida, missing the postseason for just the second time in his 19-year coaching career with the Gators. He has previously entertained coaching in the NBA, briefly taking the Orlando Magic job in 2007 before deciding to return to Florida. In order to get out of his contract with the Magic, Donovan had to agree to a five-year non-compete in the NBA.

While Stein mentions Orlando as an opening that could fit for Donovan, Oklahoma City could also be an interesting possible opening to keep an eye on. The Thunder are currently in eighth place in the NBA's Western Conference standings, but they have been above and below the playoff cut line in recent weeks as the New Orleans Pelicans push for the final playoff spot. The Pelicans are two games back after dropping their second straight game on Friday.

Coach Scott Brooks could be on the hot seat should the Thunder miss the playoffs -- and maybe even if Oklahoma City does -- and an opening there would be something Donovan would likely think long and hard about.
