G-Webb Coach Tim Craft (UF Alum)

I've mentioned it before. G-W's coach is a UF alum. This is a good read. He is a genuinely good person. We'll hate to lose him, but with higher paying jobs out there, he'll strike the iron while it's hot, even if it's an assistant gig, like Chris Holtmann did.

Great story and great rise through the coaching ranks. Similar to Jedd Fisch on the football side.

Living in Virginia, I was driving in listening to sports radio this morning and they were talking about how Virginia was going to crush G-Webb - mostly as revenge for their 1st round embarrassment last year. I'll be rooting for G-Webb now!

Thanks for sharing. Always great to hear a good success story about a UF grad.

So you don't have to play to coach, and don't even have to have experience with a great coach to coach. Who knew???

Great job by GWebb in the first half. Just couldn't score in the 2nd half to keep it close.

Not saying the end result would have been different whatsoever, but UVA's first foul of the second half was called with under 4 minutes to go and the outcome determined. Any slight chance we had was taken by the zebras swallowing their whistles when we had the ball.

John Swofford got his ACC/Big East crew there and made sure lightning wasn't going to strike twice and embarrass the A She She yet again.

Same thing with the Gators today. Can't win with ONLY shooting 2 free throws the ENTIRE game. We drove into the lane 8-10 times with our guys getting knocked to the ground on shot attempts and no calls at all. Then on the other end, we get called for ticky tack reach in bs fouls on their drives to the basket. TOTAL BS but would have only brought us another 8-10 points closer so it wouldn't have mattered...
