Wow, I was afraid I might hear that if you knew Freddie. He was obese 40 years ago, no telling the toll the years took. Sad to hear he's gone. He took so much shyt from co-workers and yet he was a good guy, demanding as well. I learned how to lay out the page from that guy.Bobby and Fred were both there when I was there. Fred recently passed if I’m not mistaken. Bobby and I were good buddies. Very funny dry sense of humor. Did u know most of those guys that were younger than me ? Belmonte and I play golf some times
I don't think you have the personality to run a proper message board. You threaten ban on people for nada.Sam, I'm not sure if sports message boards are for you.

Once agin, you take sh*t too serious. Ox might have banned 6 or so since this board started and all but 1 were trolls.I don't think you have the personality to run a proper message board. You threaten ban on people for nada.
I’m not sure he’s serious. It’s like he’s counter-trolling Ox.Once agin, you take sh*t too serious. Ox might have banned 6 or so since this board started and all but 1 were trolls.

I'm not saying Hayes can be a 20 ppg inside man. Even my claim of 16 ppg is a bit wishful. But the first 25 games Hayes averaged 6 ppg. The last 10 games, when Hayes went from 4 to 6 shots/game, Hayes gave us 11.8 ppg.
Hayes essentially doubled his scoring worth. IMO, that was a positive move.
Florida had 3 players (Hudson, Locke, Allen) who each averaged about 9-10 shots per game.
Hayes averaged about 4.5 shots from 67%-land. As a team that is 27-30 shots from 37% area and 4.5 shots from 67% area. That's enough imbalance for me to say we neglected the inside game. Going forward, as long as we do that, we will struggle. Excusing such severe imbalance by blaming my assumptions more than your assumptions ain't that different from White's saying "I've tried everything. I don't know what else to do." = is that $2 millions worth of coaching? I'm just burning for White to jack-up his coaching-smarts intensity when we stay in danger in almost every game. What coach doesn't tinker to correct that? Michigan isn't so good. Watch them from here on.
This team played better when they increased their closer-in attack (around the 27th game of the season? why so late for a change so needed?)
Coach us out of weaknesses, learn from past shortcomings, please. Grow Gators. I'm just pre-protesting the under-use of inside scoring.[bull-headed, I know]
20-16 or 7-5, same same, right?
If Hayes has bad hands. I would really like to know what you thought of Alex Tyus's hands?Hayes has been coached hard for years and has improved. But he has bad hands and poor offensive instincts for the game. He is awkward with the ball. He does not have good basket awareness. The coaches have done wonders with him. He typically scores more early in a game because of some pick and rolls and slips. They are easy adjustments for opponents and they aren’t there as the game progresses. Otherwise it’s put-backs.
Great kid and high energy and our best leader. Hard worker but he was never going to avg 16ppg at this level. He would have been an absolute valuable back up 4-5 on a better team.
Without a doubt my favorite player on this team because of his work ethic and leadership. Every team benefits from players like him.
