Or he has been watching practice and games, pretty simple you can't get players to do what they are not capable of doing. No matter how much you practice.

Like the Durty-blurty said, White's in over his head. His public comment was: "I've tried everything. Nothing works. I don't know what else to do."
There 350 basketball teams listed by the NCAA. Not a single one of them recruited players that don't know how to play. The head coach sculpts how effectively they play. The coaching corrects players' flaws, adds effective moves, pounds in the bball IQ about helping teammates in play, drawing from a teammate, etc. IDK, but there are coaches who do know how to bring out the best in their 'students' ... about 4-5 are doing just that in the SEC throughout 20 games so far.
This season is done .... err undone. Next year we'll be better by virtue of better "natural talents" {before White). Will we see full advancing skills, skills developed, taught? Or will White push the team concept that Payne's job is to get those rebounds (put-backs) from missed 3s? At the least, White needs better assistant coaches. preferably a big coach young enough to get on the practice-court and bang & block with those kids.
How aggressive can we be inside? Should we use getting increased fouls as a measure of better play? White should teach lightning-fast passing? Streaking-fast movement should be all that goes on in practice except for learning exceptions. How can White have read Coach John Wooden's book, then watched his Gators practiced, watched them play, all the while seeing no changes are needed?

Wasn't there a time when Hudson, Stone and Allen were GREAT shooters. It seems not that long ago and yet so far away.

Can a coach's miss-orientation of mind befoul player's mind-set? an entire team's mindset? We've just got rid of an HC that accomplished just that. I'm not saying White is there, but where is he? Anybody really know?

Don’t worry. Coach White will whine and complain REALLY HARD at the players and they will start playing better. “Guys. You’re just not in a rhythm. Get into A RHYTHM NOW! Are you REALLY going to blow ANOTHER LEAD!!! Don’t DO THAT!!!!”
He’s awesome. He should go coach at UCF. He and Danny can dazzle everybody with their ability to whine about the things they want to have happen but aren’t happening. It’s brilliant!

For the Kentucky game, Mike White has a point about not hitting the jumpers:
And you know why we don’t hit our jumpers? Because they’re rarely open, contested shots (many times late in shot clock) due to the fact we don’t move on offense. He seemingly cannot get through to these guys, or he just doesn’t teach moving without the basketball.

"Running" a create-offense means all the players move, causing the defense to "chase" behind. The passing is too fast to keep up with and with practiced patterns all Gators know where teammates will be or move to. Ball handler gets open and has that 1 second of time to square up for his shot or see a an inside mate to pass to.
On defense our guys move rapidly and make things difficult for the opponent to find a shot. On offense our ball handler finds a "rest-spot", stands erect, in high-bounce dribbling, surveying the court while opposing D gets set to cut off anything & everything. All Gators most of time standing like watching & wondering who is going to shoot - not moving/creating a better opening for better scoring position. White's offense plays like they're in a thoughtless shoot-around.
The remains of this season offers nothing but games to practice using a different style, one involving a lot more inside shots with aggressive follow-ups, and fewer long bomb attempts. Don't want Hayes, Johnson, Bassett etc ending the game with just 3 fouls, indicating less aggressive effort. Anyway, White should coach the rest of the season at applying next year's aggressive style with Payne as center. No teacher/coach permits zero learning of no-progress in practices. Go Gators, make us proud. We are not proud.
