You're 100% correct that there is less pressure. Guess why? It's because the expectations at FlA for b-ball are lower than at KY. It's because the interest level is less. I believe anyone thinking these elite coaches shy away from pressure situations aren't fully taking in account the type of mindsets these coaches have. Billy Donovan is not afraid of pressure. Coaches like this thrive on pressure. Coaches like this have their own expectations which they set VERY high. If BD can win two titles at a football school, then how many do you think he believes he could win at a school that lives and dies hoops? These coaches have big egos and these coaches live to excel at the highest level. BD will not spend 5 seconds in his decision making process thinking " Is the pressure at UK too much?". That's assuming the decision isn't already made.
