Billy Donovan remains North Carolina's top coaching candidate, but it's not a guarantee he'll take job

The Tar Heels’ top remaining candidate is Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan, according to multiple people briefed on UNC’s strategy, granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly about the search. North Carolina is aggressively pursuing Donovan, 60, despite his not coaching in college in over a decade . Donovan, who won consecutive national titles at Florida in 2006 and 2007, remains open to the possibility, according to multiple industry sources, but is far from a slam dunk to take the job.
