    Mike White New UF Bball coach

    I enjoy intelligent discussion with knowledgeable fans of any loyalty and recognize that many of the comments here are of that sort. The subject of the thread is UF BB and so hopefully I am not overstepping the common courtesy required of a guest in responding to comments both harsh and dumb by...

    Mike White New UF Bball coach

    As someone who's missed maybe 6 games in almost 30 years at Florida, I can vouch that army knows less about Florida basketball than he does basketball, and that saying something. ESPN dubbed the O'Connell Center one of the toughest centers in college basketball, which doesn't jibe with his bs...

    Mike White New UF Bball coach

    Overlooked in this discussion is Foleys tendency to hire young coaches with something to prove. Except for the new football coach, who is not as young as most of his hires but does share the need to prove himself, all his coaches across all sports shared youth and motivation when hired, and the...

    Judging by the boards and call in shows most Gator fans are very happy with this hire, as am I.

    As a sophomore point guard White led the Rebels to their first victory in 60 years at Rupp.

    White turned Tennessee down last year. You know, the place that has a facility that seats twice what the O'Connell center seats.

    Mike White New UF Bball coach

    Funny meme on her about Billy leaving because he was unhappy at Florida and felt screwed by football. Donovan loved Florida and Foley and left because he wants to try the NBA - that's it. Saving money? He was the best paid coach in the SEC until you got Calipari and one of the best in the...

    Mike White New UF Bball coach

    Foley has never gone that route and has done pretty well with young up and comers, including Billy, Sullivan the baseball coach, and Myer. No doubt he's had misses, but he's still the best AD in the country.

    Mike White New UF Bball coach

    A few on here have shown they're smart and I applaud them as serious fans, not blind homers. The fact is no one knows how White will do, but there are plenty of reasons for thinking he will do well. This is from the La Tech site: "Michael White's pressuring man-to-man defense and fast-paced...

    Mike White New UF Bball coach

    Thought this board would be smarter, though wishful thinking has always been its main theme. He's a solid recruiter with strong Florida and SEC ties, ran a high octane offense and pressing D to a 101-40 record, last year's point guard led the nation in assists (7.4 average), and turned down...

    Donovan to OKC

    Donovan loved UF and Gainesville, and his leaving had nothing to do with unhappiness with Foley with whom he is in a mutual admiration society. His ego was not such that he needed to be propped up by monuments. To quote UF's soccer coach (also a NC winner) from yesterday - "he is a big time...

    Anyone think the Refs got that last Andrew Harrison foul call right?

    Meanwhile Townes had gotten away with 2 obvious fouls and a goaltend on his 6 "blocks".he's a great player, but give me a break. He doesn't need the help. This post was edited on 3/7 4:10 PM by jfrent
