After the team being in Orlando for a couple of days and all the NBA talk, I'm happy to see this.

Florida coach Billy Donovan signed a three-year contract extension through the 2018-'19 season.
The terms of the extension with Donovan, who will be 49 in May, were reached last summer, but the contract was not finalized until last month.
Donovan, whose No. 1-ranked Gators (34-2) are the top overall seed in the NCAA tournament, had signed a five-year contract in December of 2011. The extension will bump Donovan's salary to an average of $3.7 million from 2014-19.
Donovan is 449-168 in 18 seasons at Florida, which includes the 2006 and 2007 national championships and a trip to the 2000 national championship game.
Donovan left the program following Florida's second national championship to become the coach of the Orlando Magic, but changed his mind and returned to the school four days later. He has then led the Gators to four straight Sweet 16s in the NCAA tournament and is playing for a fourth straight Elite Eight berth when UF takes on UCLA on Thursday in Memphis, Tenn.
Donovan is one of three SEC coaches to win 400 games. He moved into second all-time in wins at an SEC school behind Kentucky's Adolph Rupp (875), picking up win No. 449 vs. Pittsburgh on Saturday.
Under the terms of his previous deal, Donovan had made an average of $3.5 million from 2007-13.
