Not sure about much of this, but are you sure about the last one, just asking because i don't know......jimI posted this on another thread, but White's accomplishments in 6 years are simply not up to Florida Gator standards. They just aren't.

“Whaaaaaaah....we only win first round NCAA tourney games every year..”
talk about spoiled entitlement....
get some life experience, have your heart broken by a chick, get your ass kicked in a bar fight, pump your own gas, deal with a natural disaster, and come back and tell sadgator how bad it sucks that we’re losing in the first round every year...
just sayin’....

I'm sure. We reached the Elite 8 in 2016-17, got beat by South Carolina and finished up ranked #20 in the final AP poll. That's the best we've done since Mike White was hired. No SEC Tournament title games, not really a sniff at an SEC title. The only other UF sport where this type of mediocre performance has been tolerated has been Women's Basketball. In other sports, coaches have been replaced when they aren't winning an SEC title every once in a while and being in regular contention the rest of the time.Not sure about much of this, but are you sure about the last one, just asking because i don't know......jim
With the talent UF had ever since Mike White has been here, the expectations is to at least be in the sweet 16. With the years of talent here, there are no excuses to be eliminated early along with several bad losses like Mizzou, Kentucky, the Cocks and Miss State.If the “expectation” is making the tournament every year...we’re doing ok there....how’d Kentucky and Duke make out on that front this year...”Coach K must go!”
Kentucky and Duke had 1 bad season. They are routinely Top 10 programs fighting every year for their conference title. 1 Elite 8 in 6 years with no conference championships of any kind, no NBA draft picks and the other Mike White "achievements" would not be tolerated at Duke, Kentucky or any other basketball programs where being in contention for titles is a reasonable expectation. Especially when we consider that the University of Florida is the ONLY athletic department that has finished in the Top 10 for best overall athletic programs in the NCAA every year they have compiled the numbers to determine that. THE University of Florida has historically demanded more of its coaches than what White is delivering. That fact cannot be disputed, try as you may.If the “expectation” is making the tournament every year...we’re doing ok there....how’d Kentucky and Duke make out on that front this year...”Coach K must go!”
It will get really interesting and potentially very ugly if UK follows next season with another one just like the one we had.

Insta, how did you manage to hack into Sad's account?
The expectation should be to advance in the tournament. Kentucky and Duke (with their current coaches) have earned the right to post a bad season occasionally. It's rare.If the “expectation” is making the tournament every year...we’re doing ok there....how’d Kentucky and Duke make out on that front this year...”Coach K must go!”
Well, insta almost saw the light, and then reverted back to his old ways.
wow....Freudian. I meant to type "sad almost saw..."
that's not a good sign, buddy.
For someone that likes basketball a lot, you sure seem to be really okay with making the tournament and getting embarrassed.
look...sadgator’s definitely bummed about how it ended this year...and sadgator is concerned about the slow ball play in games with leads, but simply, sadgator is not sure the grass is greener with anyone else. And the difference between 1st round wins and sweet sixteens ain’t that great.Well, insta almost saw the light, and then reverted back to his old ways.

I just want to see a well coached and disciplined team year in and year out. Consistency and maximizing the very good talent we have. If we get this the championships will follow. Nothing would make me happier than the switch would flip for coach White.
I’m a little fed up with Cals arrogance and BS he tries to feed the UK fans. I know a lot of UK fans wouldn’t know WTF an illegal screen looks like - but we have a huge following of actual knowledgeable basketball fans ..... and some of his garbage he spews during a press conference either means he doesn’t know WTF the glaring problems are, or doesn’t GAS about actually leveling with the folk that help fund his salary.
that being said, I’m not in the can Cal club yet. I have heard he intends to grab 2-3 experienced juniors on the transfer wire - that could be a good recipe. Maybe he does have some perspective - hoping so
Did you say the same about Billy D. during his first two LOSING SEasons? Or his last LOSING season?That hit on a lot of the main points about White.
It would be nice if someone took him off our hands but we are stuck with him for another season most likely. Forgot about him almost giving that lead up with his nonsense in that one tournament.
I am hoping Ole Miss isn't any good next season and reach out to him just in case he pulls another season like this one.
Nope but like many I was a little irritated having a down season. Donovan actually won many significant things like National Titles, SEC Championships and SEC Tournaments unlike White.Did you say the same about Billy D. during his first two LOSING SEasons? Or his last LOSING season?
Unless White can go portal shopping, we are in big trouble next season. Fortunately there are some really good players we can grab.
Insta is running like the wind. He's looking all over for a stats to post, or a pic, or a GIF that says Mike White is great and it's all everyone else's fault. Hey Insta how them apples tasting? Bet you having problems swallowing hahahaInsta, how did you manage to hack into Sad's account?
