Taurean Green was a decent FT shooter. College career average was 85.7 % Not too shabby.
Don't know why that was funny...Format maybe. .857 is a better way to look at it?

I don’t know why this comes up so often. Even those that like MW do not think he is better than Billy. Literally nobody. Billy is a legend. Whoever we hire next might be better than White but won’t be better than Billy.

I’ve been very critical of White, however I can also give credit where it’s due because I hope he works out here. Some won’t give credit no matter what due to their hate for him. It’s really odd.

It’s not odd at all. When you follow a legend you’re gonna have lots of folks that refuse to accept going backwards even though it’s inevitable 99% of the time.

No one will ever be better than Billy D at UF cause they would have to win 3 NCs here and if you look around the country only a few coaches have even done that and it took them 30 years to do it so its never gonna happen here.

Wow crazy basketball year with so many great programs in the dumper now. Teams like Duke, UK, ND, Cuse, BC, Butler, Georgetown, Marquette, IU, MSU, Utah, Stanford, SC, and AU all having rough years and for awhile now for some programs.

i wonder if Billy everr talks to Mike. Or Mike call him, I gotta go with Taurean Green as best PG. He was the PG for two titles . He did what needed to be done. I think he was a decent FT shooter.
who you talking about egor? .
No, you are correct. Was just trying to poke fun at Kasey Hill, 5* point guard legend who only shot about 55% from the free throw line. Kid should have underhanded it. Heck, I shoot about 58%.

The only thing I see MW teams do better than a Billy coached team is Free Throws, and there Ain't much coaching involved.

That White kid can recruit. That's a plus. As long as he keeps bringing in 5* all-Americans, he can keep his job.

No White has to be consistent at getting to some Sweet 16s and throw in a Final 4 here and there.

UF needs a steady influx of tall & rough inside power (C or F) and we need to play to those guys = get points & fouls working for us.
Get Castleton & Payne stronger & meaner and play around that inside & out = a whole balanced attack yielding FGs, FTs, and Rbs.
That is where future winning lies. So, UF's coach has to Brainwash & Train the team in that unrelenting style. Far perimeter shooting cannot sweep any tournament = no NC. Great if White can recruit us in that way.??
