Yeah, but he's got that Stricklin "look", ya know. He looks like what a khaki wearing AD should have as a BB coach.

That’s because he’s an AD himself at heart like the rest of his family.

He acts the way an AD thinks a basketball coach should. But in reality he ends up acting like an AD pretending to be a basketball coach.

I’ve been saying it for 5 years now and it’s still true

37% from the field. Yep there were some wild shots on our side and some prayers uk put up that scored; but missed layups and charity stripe shots made the game unwatchable.

Listless effort overall which can only be blamed on coaching but we’ve seen this for several years so I don’t anticipate any changes.

As long as the players are happy and have their self esteem firmly in place we don’t want to upset them.

Missed the game. Recorded it, but was driving back from MIL-sitting. Checked halftime score, ugh. Got final score, double-ugh. Won't watch the recording. This confirms (yet again) MW is not the guy. Great he's bringing in talent, but the effort and capability of the team has not improved since he arrived. I don't care if you need to get 'your guys' (most of the team is his guys by now), a good coach takes what he has and makes it better....not worse. I'm done with MW. I'll still support the team, but I'm wondering if they'll be .500 at the end of the season at this rate.

This is his sixth season ALL of the players are his guys. MW will have to move on to the next excuse.

I am sure he has plenty

Our schedule is actually pretty easy. If we finish below .500 I’d be highly surprised. But if we do, heads need to roll.

White must practice his teams as if they will be playing a fun-game against friendly mates.??
These players are as skilled as their opponents. Their coaching just doesn't introduce intensity or awareness = main ingredients of preparedness. Donavan's coaching was detailed and made sense to his players. White doesn't make sense to anybody. He isn't informing the team that they can affect the outcome with their thinking-interactions of court play.

I gave up on MW two seasons ago. I've tuned in to a game or two recently to see if there was any reason to change my mind. The answer isn't just no, it's hell no.

I’m pretty sure Mike White has turned our basketball team into UGA’s football team. Great recruiting and **** coaching/development!

What a sour turn-off to see Mike White as our present and future coach of the Gator basketball Program: descending when it should be ascending.

The first 3 1/2 minutes were decent to watch, up until the net problem delay. Changing out the net was as if Delilah cut Samson’s hair - the Gators lost all of their powers after that.

Brings to mind White's very low net worth.

I am now convinced that Coach White is not appropriate for our program. Sure this team has issues but being blown out twice in a row shows lack of coaching.
