While I surely agree that White does not coach the team as I believe it should be, I don't see how he is responsible for so many missed open shots, lay ups, etc. I very much think that a coach who has been a guard wants a guard based team which I believe not to be as effective as a center based one unless you have great guards. So many missed opportunities to blow out the opponent, a good team would have been up by 20 or more at the half.
This missed open looks create some doubt in my mind regarding how much of a leash White should have after this season if it continues as is. But it is all his recruits, no? And shooting skills can be coached and drilled, right? And, there is so little motion and ball movement in his offense. It is the same offense we’ve seen all along. Is he coaching to his teams strengths?
So, I see the poor-shooting excuse as even more lame than giving Muschump an extra year for injuries. If this team doesn’t gel and make a nice run in the tournament (sweet 16 or better), White needs to be canned not just because his brand of hoops is variably effective, but because it is giant snooze fest.
I suggest seeking a soft landing, meaning only can him when we have a willing upgrade coach on the hook. White is not nearly as bad as Muschamp or Mac. A bit more like a calm and articulate version of Zook. No need to rush him out the door. Better to be patient about getting the right replacement. Then make the upgrade.
