Did KJ's coaching have anything to do with unleashing Fiesty Gators?

Allow me to recap the announcing for that UF/UT game =

Pregame was all about what a dominant monster this UT is.
Early game nobody mentioned that we were 4-5 points ahead and we were maintaining it time & time again.
Everytime UT cut the lead Vitale bellowed: "Uh-oh, this is it. Tennessee is about to make a charge." At several points he made that "turnaround" call ... but the change never came. We stretched our lead. It was like they were wishing out loud over the airwaves! Not until way late in the game when the Gators were maintaining a 15+ point lead late, did Vitale say: "I don't think these Vols are gonna catch these Gators tonight.

Now that's a rewarding sound-bite to replay for our memories. Go Gators, just like this.

Mike White is the guy . Several ncaa tournament appearances as our coach
Multiple finishes in the top 64. Wow, we’re in the top 64 most years. One time we even finished in the top eight! Next thing you know, we’ll be on fries. Another year after that, we’ll make assistant manager, AND THAT’S WHEN THE BIG BUCKS START ROLLING IN.

Oftentimes watching home-games, I see Donavan's name painted on our court as the admit that we don't expect to ever be that good again - cling to that past because that level of coaching we'll never achieve again. ?? -- We'll never incorporate such smart dedication to inside-play as Noah, Horford, Richard, Moss, Speights (?), etc. Heavy reliance on getting inside hits where no team can close on our lead or streak out ahead. That's the philosophy & training that develops a winning team = first, take our aggressiveness inside.

He has done an exceptional job considering the issues . Knocking of 2 ranked teams without the pre season POY .. might want to rethink your position.

the greatest line I ever heard was when Billy had us rolling through the tourney and we beat UNC and Duke and during one game one of the announcers said something like "I dont think UNC has the depth to hang with the gators" I remember looking up and saying """"THERE IS A GOD""".........cause they used to have more 5 stars on the bench than we had total.
