If White is stupid enough to leave for Old Piss, let him.
First stop for the Gator Brinks Truck for his replacement should be Wichita, Kansas and Gregg Marshall. If he says no, stop two should be to Cincinnati, Ohio and Chris Mack at Xavier.

Marshall or Mack are the only ones I'd consider. We've already beaten Cincinnati.

Okay, I give up. It appears that the White bashers are in fact correct. I am not sure how much more of this I can take either.
To date, I have limited my criticism of White to his passive approach to officiating. I now must admit that this passive behavior is reflected in every aspect of this team. I have never seen a Gator team that is completely void of passion or heart when on the court. If you could point to certain players or certain situations as the problem, you could make a case for the possibility of a turnaround.
Instead, I am left with no answer other than the fact that this team reflects the personality of their coach and my description of him as an athletic director playing basketball coach seems to be on target.
Not sure there is an answer other than the obvious.
What am I missing? Please tell me.

Look we all know that UF creamed UVA last year and kudos to Mike and the team for that. And UF beat them the year before I believe. But if you look at everything that way, then you would be genuflecting for Mark Fox to replace Mike immediately if not sooner,. b/c UGA swept UF this year.
The point is this. Do you think UVA would be 25-2 or whatever they are this year, running away with the ACC, if Mike was their coach? I think not. If you gave Mike UVA's players and gave Bennett UF's players, over time who do you think would win?

The big difference is 1. Tony's teams play very good D. 2. Are much better at slow pace ball than the current UF squad.
I think most fans would hate Bennett at UF, but doubt he leaves Virginia for another team other than WI. That being said Bennett is a very very good coach and his players are disciplined and 100% buy into his system. He would own the SEC.

Quit being an idiot and Mike White ball licker. Bennett takes subpar talent and win 20+ games every year playing to strengths of his team. Yes, we beat him last year soundly with the best shooting of the year, it happens. Do you really think the White is a better coach than Bennett? You'd be in the minority of those who have a clue about basketball I can assure. They play his game and have lost 2 games.............in the ACC, beat Duke at Duke. Did we beat Duke? How about FSU? They'd beat Vandy, USC, Bama and UGa by at least 15 pts. You can keep bringing up that old what happened last year garbage all you want but Bennett would be tons better that White.

Are saying uva doesn't get their share of players? They do. Bennett has had way more time to build his team at uva so I'd say it's a wash. I'm taking white over Bennett any day.

"Our guys have got to learn how to play tough defense for 40 minutes."
"We have some guys on this team that want to play hero ball."
"We have got to do a better job of taking good shots versus forcing shots."
" I just can't seem to reach these guys."
These are all quotes from White this year.
The response to the first three is....Well that is the responsibility of a coach that earns seven figures a year.
The answer to the last one is...Well then why are you the coach of these guys?

That shcit is boring. I don't care how many 50-40 wins he has under his belt. White has some notable wins under his belt too. Hell, white already has as many elite 8 appearances as Bennett. Please tell me the last dribble the air out of ball team to win a championship?
