Mike White is an imbecile. You foul when up 3. Every. Single. Time.
Boss needs to own and destroy this thread.
Unfortunately White is not going anywhere this year. He’ll be given another year to put it together. I think next year squad will play relatively better because they will have an nside presence. But will ultimately crash because he routinely gets outcoached.
The great coaches have learned to get in the refs ears, and do so without getting a T. It really can and does change the game.Everybody has identified the massive issues with coaching, game planning, and strategy so I will go back to my same old, tired, complaint about how White doesn't manage officiating.
Yes, we made enough mistakes to lose the game.
Yes, White's coaching results in a lot of head scratching
Yes, we have roster holes especially in the front court
I believe there is a bigger issue that is much easier to solve......
Anybody, and I mean anybody, that watched that game has acknowledged that the officiating was off the charts bad but White continued with his Athletic Director demeanor while his team is getting screwed. I wondered what Greg Stankey (Sankey) was thinking while he was watching that abomination
Several times during the game the players looked at the bench expecting their coach to stand up for them but the AD in training was sitting on the bench staring at the piece of paper in his hand. Late in the game when the UGA guy possessed the ball (and stepped out of bounds), yet the refs still called a shot clock violation on us, even the SEC announcers wondered why he wasn't saying anything.
This call allowed UGA to score the tying basket in regulation.
Please don't give me the BS line about how yelling at refs doesn't change anything, I know from 36 years downfront, that it almost ALWAYS works, it is simple human nature. You don't have to be a raving lunatic like Pearl, just simply stand up for your team.
Not sure how much longer I can watch a coach that clearly doesn't understand how to manage refs and apparently doesn't want to defend his players. Maybe his dad can get him a job as an Associate AD somewhere.
Next years squad is gonna be way worse. We lose chiozza ,Hudson and egor. We don't have any new bigs coming in next year. Next year will be a very ugly year for us. I like white and he's got some decent recruits coming in but we better make the tourney this year because we damn sure won't next year.Unfortunately White is not going anywhere this year.
