Gator Basketball Powerhouse Utah State too much for Gators to handle, 65-62

Who do we zero in on so we can move on from White?

If you like Marshall so be it. he had a good run at Winthrop and has done well at Wichita. But I would prefer to just rip the cord with Mike and then see who shows interest. if everyone thinks we are such a place that a guy like Stevens would show an interest, then their agents will reach out when we shytcan Mike. Just have someone competent doing the research and don;t do like Fooley and pick up the newspaper, see what mid major coach has a good 2 yr record (See Mike and Butters) and hire them. find people that watch games, that know hoops and can tell you what real basketball is.

 

[GBHOR]

Yup

Didn't watch it, zero stress day supporting the wife, at the Las Vegas Bowl. It's a struggle but I'll endure.

--------- Do you always look like the stalker that's finally caught up with her?

 

[GBHOR]

LMAO, maybe we can get the Vegas Bowl, next year will be in the Raiders new stadium, and it's ****ing impressive

Give her my card.

Are you out of town on business often?

White’s failure to play up tempo on both sides of the ball will be his undoing.

I think he is overly enamored with Nembhard who plays a slow game. He’s decent and I like him but he does not fit with his teammates. KJ, Lewis, Mann and Glover need to run to be effective. Lewis and Mann particularly do not have structured offensive games. Both are more scorers than shooters. They are lost in this half court offense. They need to be let out of the barn. I think the same applies to Payne.

It’s time to extend the defense, apply pressure....even full court....generate turnovers that lead to transition buckets.

For sure Marine1, that is the only answer = let your high school All Americans operate. White needs to dust off his books on offensive styles.

fire Mike white and wait for Brad Stevens to reach out. This is some funny shcit

 

[Swamp Donkey]

White’s not going anywhere for at least another season after this...and you all know it.

Sorry but nonrevenue sports should come last.

No spending the football facilities money on more nonrevenue sports.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Besides, did we just give this NIT asshat coach a raise and extension?

We need to fire the motherfkkker who offered and signed that extension.

 

[FireFoley]

You are correct about Stevens, but I only used his name an an example in responding to JBoss post. I clearly stated in another post that IF Stevens ever returned to college, bball it would only be at 1 of 4 schools. He already turned down big money at 2 other schools.

 

[Spurdog98]

I stopped watching awhile ago and suggest you guys do the same. I just come to the forum after games and read all the comments. We've been hammering out the same complaints about this asshat for at least 2 years...he ain't gonna wake up in the morning and become Coach K. He's a dud. Fire his azz and move on. My guess is the players are just waiting for anyone on this staff to get a clue.

While I surely agree that White does not coach the team as I believe it should be, I don't see how he is responsible for so many missed open shots, lay ups, etc. I very much think that a coach who has been a guard wants a guard based team which I believe not to be as effective as a center based one unless you have great guards. So many missed opportunities to blow out the opponent, a good team would have been up by 20 or more at the half.

This missed open looks create some doubt in my mind regarding how much of a leash White should have after this season if it continues as is. But it is all his recruits, no? And shooting skills can be coached and drilled, right? And, there is so little motion and ball movement in his offense. It is the same offense we’ve seen all along. Is he coaching to his teams strengths?

So, I see the poor-shooting excuse as even more lame than giving Muschump an extra year for injuries. If this team doesn’t gel and make a nice run in the tournament (sweet 16 or better), White needs to be canned not just because his brand of hoops is variably effective, but because it is giant snooze fest.

I suggest seeking a soft landing, meaning only can him when we have a willing upgrade coach on the hook. White is not nearly as bad as Muschamp or Mac. A bit more like a calm and articulate version of Zook. No need to rush him out the door. Better to be patient about getting the right replacement. Then make the upgrade.

The irony in this is that when Fooley hired White he said that one of the main reasons was that White coached “An uptempo style that today’s players want to play.” Well either his philosophy changed, for no good reason or yet again our brilliant “AD Emeritus “ was sold another pig in a poke.
A friend told me that the team can either be exciting to watch win or lose OR boring to watch but a consistent winner. White’s team is the perfect storm of boring, frustrating to watch, and consistent losers

 

[Gator-Don]

UF should feel free to be searching for a good coach when UF has a loser BBall coach.
I just found out that Georgetown's coach is Patrick Ewing ! We should find us a 7-foot coach, with long term NBA experience.
White only knows "too-short-man" basketball. He does not visualize "in-the-paint" basketball. Subconsciously, the players are baffled about how to conduct themselves on the court? How to pass faster than the defensemen can move? How to deftly kiss the ball off the backboard to make the ball energy quit right over the rim?

There are too many coaches out there getting more success out of lesser talented players. These players need that coach. Worse thing off all, UF feared some higher school program would steal White, we gave a raise with an extension,?? Those poor lied-to players.

Mike Miller is Penny Hardaway's assistant at Memphis. By the time we can fire MW he might fit your criteria. He showed he has great b-ball IQ with the Heat.

I'd rather see him dusting off his resume' after we fire his ass.

Miller hasn't shown shcit. It would be stupid to fire a coach that can get us in the tournament every year for a coach with a just a couple of years experience as an assistant. And I don't wanna hear how good of a recruiter he is. Penny brought those kids in. We shouldn't make a move unless we know we're upgrading.

Honestly I think this team makes the tournament despite the coach, not because of. Their talent shows just enough to counter chumpalishious offensive coaching.

This team is gonna get slaughtered in the SEC. Unless a switch suddenly flips and the light comes on for this team we’ll be lucky to make the NIT.
