Gator Basketball Todd Golden new Florida Men's Basketball Coach; hires Taurean Green

[LeeForThree]

I think we all know that, in the end, we will be hiring a small school guy.

As long as it's not Bennett

I’m proud to introduce the man that will not be The Gators next Basketball Coach

It would be a good hire, not sure they would do it though

aTm got hosed for sure. That's too bad.

I need the backstory on this. If she's supposed to kick the cigar or whatever it is out of his mouth, then why does she kick him squarely in the nards? It doesn't look like a fake shot for clickbate. I'd say his response is too spontaneous for it not to be real. The best is the lady in the background wearing black who claps politely for the man who just suffered a ruptured testicle.

Like maybe the coach of the team beating Toledo at the moment? It's 34-23 at halftime.

No, he didn't exactly set the world on fire at Alabama. But who has? He then spent a couple years getting some remedial tutoring from Billy D, put in some new offensive wrinkles, and for the most part has done a really good job at Dayton. It took a Chinese bio-weapon attack to keep them from a likely Final Four appearance in 2020. I have no objection to giving him a shot.

Anthony Grant has done a solid job at Dayton. But truthfully Dayton was better before he got there. Archie Miller had them rolling along even better. It would make no sense to run a guy off that got us to 4 would have been 5 tournament bids for a guy who's had 1 would be 2 of it weren't for covid in the last 10.
I've got news for you guys, there's actually other coaches out there that haven't coached at Florida that are still pretty good.

Also Tony Bennett is a national championship winning coach and has waxed Duke and North Carolinas ass on the regular. We'd be nuts to stick our nose up to him. That being said there's not a snowballs chance in hell he comes here

To much baggage for Fl.
Auburn no problem

 

[MidwestChomp]

He had me at the triple but he wanted more…

Holy crap I thought that was Mark Richt at first

But you would take Pitino?

 

[LeeForThree]

But you would take Pitino?

For sure. Easily the better coach....and at Iona, not Virginia

 

[Great White Buffalo]

And lost to Mike White, Mike freaking White, by 26 in the Dance a few years ago.

Story checks out - your mom hasn't coached at Florida and she's still pretty good

Bravo-shock, we beat a tournament-quality team without Mike White's coaching. Think of the millions of $ we could have saved over the last few years.
As a MW tribute, our interim coach could have called an inappropriately timed time-out. :cool:
Glad our boys got to feel this joy. Good experience for freshman Kowacie's young development. Who else.? Round 2 next. Why not win that, too.? Go into next season with a swagger. :D

 

[Spurdog98]

And a crook and totally disagree that he is a better coach if you figure in the baggage.

With Donovans players. As I said several times already, if Bennett is coaching Florida this year we are easily in the tourney and probably 4 seed or better.

Then why isn’t he in the tournament with the team he recruited and coached?

You think we have the talent to be a 4 seed or better? LOL, we have two 4-star players on the roster and can barely field a starting five of kids that received offers from Power 5 teams. If Bennett couldn't get his team in to the Big Dance, the one with four 5-star kids on the roster, I'm guessing he wouldn't fare much better with ours. Dance, perhaps, but certainly not a 4 or better.

name those 4 5 stars. Beekman might be a 4. Next years class, 4 stars not 5's. We have a much talent as Tennessee but ****ty coaching. And the 11 ranked recruiting class for next year for Bennett. You know....the guy that can't recruit?
