I'm expecting stokes to transfer. Her has plenty of size and talent to warrant minutes so has to be issue between him and coaching, unless he's nursing a new injury I'm not aware of.

Maybe Stokes is listening to his brother's observations on White and thus knows no "inside-game" will be taught or applied = UF with White is big-man boot hill.

Jalen Hudson hurts this team every game . At this point he doesn’t need to be on the court in the second half of close ball games . He’s been given so many chances and continues to hurt the team .

I think all players care about is playing time. Probably more about not being happy about lack of PT which leads to even less/no PT which means I expect a transfer. It's a shame because he's talented and with Nembhard at PG Stokes should be able to help this team inside.

Reality is as crappy as this team played, Allen and Locke going 3 of 14 from 3 is what made it a loss. Hayes was really good and actually kept us in it with hustle plays on defense damn near every possession.

Nope. Actually still pissed. Another poorly coached game, just wish some would admit that White’s been awful this year especially late in games.

It's worse than awful. Gator players' head coach publicly admitted that he doesn't know what to do = nothing works.
So he reveals to his players that they are hopeless. What negative, tear-down statements does he issue to them in private? How dynamically do you think that they are practicing what White really doesn't believe in? ... like constant cutting, finishing over the rim, look for plays to forwards inside? Who believes these guys are disobeying their coaches instructions, violating what they practice day in, day out?

Seriously this rotation needs to be cut way down too many guys are playing that shouldn't be playing and that's not including Stokes because he should be on the court we're getting killed inside by big teams

So what if we make March Madness? even so what if we make the NIT?
Well, if it's a wanted reward by the players?
One of the best things coming next year? = Hudson gone.
Note how 3-pt excellence deserts any team ... so let's keep a coach who thinks 3s are the only way to go.... and so we are gone.

IMO a good inside coach could have made a star out of Hayes. I think White coaches the non-fundamentals, thinking the fundamentals will come naturally. Well, lack of those basics have finished us by our not finishing them.

We play basketball the way nobody wants to see ... except our opposing coaches. BBall coaches are a polite bunch, still I bet White is a laughingstock.

Trying to figure how to guard this team isn't rocket science. Lock down the 3 line and we're in trouble.

White can talk about how great the D is all he wants. At some point you have to score more than the other team and that takes someone to teach offensive movement and how to create shots via passing and screens.

I’m shocked to learn we can’t rely on 15 3s from Locke and Allen to happen every game lol

I am in the minority but I am a Hayes fan.

Right Frozen: never has one player exerted so much effort void of any "inside-game" coached development and devoid of any schemed & team-practiced on-court inclusion in plays. Catch, fiercely-grip, kiss off backboard or gently drop into rim = each of those facets should be drilled in, into Hayes & Bassett & Johnson.

1st fix: Play the starters 30+ min

2nd fix: no dribble drive

3rd fix: 4/5 out screening offense this year

4th fix: hire an assistant who knows offense

5th fix: Allen and Locke must shoot 10 times a game min

6th fix: repeat steps 1-5
