Essentially, a Gator newbie who should have an immediate first-season impact is Assistant Head Coach Al Pinkins - our top-notch "inside-men" coach. We've got a good supply of front-line guys this year = less fear-playing over individual foul-trouble ? Sum those guys are hefty-weights who can attack the rim to score & for rebounds. Teaching rebounding is coach Pinkins' specialty.
Boy we have a suddenly tough schedule this year - play FSU first game ? And quickly go to a tournament in the Bahamas to play 3 days in a row, 3 expectant Sweet-16 teams.UF basketball's gonna be a "hot-watch" item.
