I recommended to Mike White (on this board) that he leave UF.
I'm glad for him that he did so. Socialist-U with their entitled fans didn't deserve him.
End of that story.
But just for fun, I'm a nobody, you B-Ball genius types should really be going after the professional's....
From an article inn SDS:
The 2020-21 season has been tough on everyone, but
the Florida Gators have been hit harder than most. Yes, everyone is dealing with COVID-related postponements, cancellations and disruptions, but Florida players and coaches had to watch
SEC Preseason Player of the Year Keyontae Johnson collapse on the court against Florida State. Without a player of Johnson’s caliber on the court, the Gators have struggled.
Scottie Lewis missed the Ole Miss and Mississippi State games (and will miss Tuesday’s game against Tennessee) due to COVID protocols. And on and own it goes....

SEC Coach of the Year 2016-17
After Florida’s demolition of South Carolina on Tuesday, the Gators are
outscoring SEC opponents by just more than 0.18 points per possession,
the top mark in the conference. (Rock solid proof that MW has a clueless offense) Kentucky is second in that category, topping foes by just more than 0.16 points per possession.
And Florida destroyed Kentucky by 22 points in their only meeting to date far.
Florida and Kentucky stand well apart from the rest of the conference in this regard: The Gators and Wildcats are
the only two teams in the league in the top three in both adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency, and no other SEC team is outscoring conference foes by more than the 0.06 points per possession that South Carolina is mustering with its combination of suffocating defense and sputtering offense.
John Calipari’s Wildcats, who started five players ranked in the top 15 of the Recruiting Services Consensus Indices of
2015 and
2016. Florida has one such consensus top-15 player — Kasey Hill, now playing his senior season in Gainesville by virtue of lacking the NBA-ready talents many of those Kentucky starters have — and another consensus top-20 player in Devin Robinson, but is largely relying on players who were on the fringe of (Chris Chiozza ranked No. 49 in 2014) or outside (Allen was No. 64 in 2015, Egbunu No. 60 in 2013) the national top 50 at best.
This year’s Florida team, in fact, is very slightly more efficient in SEC play than last year’s Wildcats were — and that Kentucky team had two first-round picks, something Florida will assuredly not have.
Florida and Kentucky, in other words, are not just the only contenders for the SEC championship left standing after 15 rounds —
they are also clearly the SEC’s two best teams.
In this year’s SEC, no teams have done more or better than Florida and Kentucky. And Florida is doing more with less, something Kentucky never even has to consider doing. And Florida did better than Kentucky when they met.
And so, barring a truly unforeseen swoon,
Mike White will be the SEC Coach of the Year.
>>> Making him the ONLY HC in UF history to win CoY in 3 different conferences.... what a bum...
His team has all but vanquished all competition — thus, so has he.

BillyD's gone

Mike White is gone.
Neither will ever come back for any reason or under any circumstances imoho.
Time for all of us to move on and enjoy life with the San Fran 16-17 Golden boy....
