The University of Florida is targeting San Francisco’s Todd Golden as the school’s next basketball coach, a source told ESPN. Expect the sides to move quickly with San Francisco’s season over after losing in the NCAA tournament on Thursday night.
Golden, 36, led San Francisco to the school’s first NCAA tournament bid since 1998. He led the Dons to a 24-10 record this season, which included a No. 10 seed in the NCAA tournament. San Francisco fell to No. 7 Murray State 92-87 in an overtime thriller in Indianapolis on Thursday night.
In three seasons at San Francisco, Golden compiled a 57-36 record. That included an upset of then-No. 4 Virginia in November 2020.
