    Florida coach Billy Donovan is rebuilding his staff with a close friend and a longtime colleague.

    Donovan hired former Arkansas coach John Pelphrey and former St. John's coach Norm Roberts(Below) as assistants Tuesday. They replace associate head coach Larry Shyatt, who took the head job at Wyoming last month, and assistants Rob Lanier and Richard Pitino.

    Donovan said Lanier and Pitino left for opportunities to become head coaches in waiting at Texas and Louisville, respectively. Texas officials confirmed Lanier's hiring, but said he was not offered anything more than an assistant position. Louisville coach Rick Pitino declined comment on his son's status.
