Definitely bummin' with what I see. It is still early BUT I dunno. Like to see us run more with our athletes that are present. Still not very confident on their offense. Very erratic shooters.
will ole miss make a run at Mike White?

Here are a couple of thoughts by people who regulalrly cover Gator sports:
Thomas Goldcamp: "The Gators couldn't do that, blowing another chance at a win that would have bolstered their NCAA Tournament resume. The biggest issue right now for Florida is that, despite a tough schedule that will help UF's case, the Gators simply aren't winning many of the games against quality teams. Entering Saturday's game, UF's average win ranked No. 154 in the NET rankings. Not good."
Adam Silverstein: "Just a few days after looking like they may have turned the corner, Florida Gators basketball (7-4) proved it hardly made any progress over its extended break in a 65-62 loss to the Utah State Aggies that showed once again how poor the Gators perform on the offensive end of the floor. Florida’s loss dropped it to 17-4 all-time at the Orange Bowl Basketball Classic, an event it has routinely dominated at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida.
It was over when … Utah State drained a three with 1:50 to play, capping a 7-0 run and extending its lead to six. While Florida technically had plenty of time to come back, it was clear the Gators did not have the offensive firepower on Saturday to get the job done. UF ended the game 3-of-11 from the field — and two of those makes were gimmies with the clock winding down. It was the third time this season that Florida shot .400 or worse from the field (.323), all games in which it has lost. Saturday also marked the third time the Gators have posted a single-digit assist total, which it also did in its last game.
Odds and ends: The Aggies led for 25:57 of the 40-minute game and distributed the ball far better with 19 assists on 24 baskets, keeping the Gators on their heels defensively the entire game … sophomore G Noah Locke and F Keyontae Johnson combined to go 6-of-25 from the floor and 2-of-9 from three … Florida won the rebounding battle (41-33) and dominated second-chance points (21-7) but did not score a single fastbreak point on Saturday … this is the fifth time in six seasons that UF has 4+ losses before the start of the new year
What it means: It’s time for head coach Mike White to find some answers because the questions are piling up. Why are the Gators unable to move the ball offensively? Why are they unable to operate offense either off the fastbreak or in the halfcourt? When will they start maximizing the top-tier talent that has been recruited to this team over the last two seasons? How will Florida fare when it enters a difficult SEC schedule after opening the seasons with Elite Eight aspirations? There are already plenty of calls for White to be fired. While those may be a bit premature given how much season is left, UF not finding a way to improve could make this season ugly — and fast."
Silverstein lays it out pretty good, IMO.

Just hoping Coach White is not the Kirby Smart of basketball. Stockpiling all this talent and not developing it.
Kirby recruits like calipari. I’d take it every day of the week. White doesn’t recruit like that yet, but he has shown some signs that maybe he could. If he recruited that good, I’d live with his offense.
But when players see that offense, they will say thanks but no thanks.
This could be true. It will be interesting to see where Scottie Lewis gets drafted. He came to UF as a lottery pick.
Getting players in positions to take quality shots is coaching. 
After that, the shooters have to make a basket,,, most of the time.
UF ended the game 3-of-11 from the field — and 2 of those makes were gimmies with the clock winding down. It was the 3rd time this season that Florida shot .400 or worse from the field (.323), all games in which it has lost. Saturday also marked the 3rd time the Gators have posted a single-digit assist total, which it also did in its last game.
Games ago the iG recommended getting a 'sports psychologist' to come in and work with the team on making their open shots. Now it's really past time to do so. Otherwise, this shooting slump might never end....
What it means: It's actually pretty simple. Make the baskets and all of the other mis-perceived problems on offensive instantly disappear, because they don't really exist anyway because guys are getting open shots. The ONLY problem with the offense is not putting the ball in the basket on wide open shots.
Note: You have to put the ball in the basket before they can record the assist. Cure #1 and #2 goes away on it's own.

It’s been 4 years of bad offense. The only year it was any good was because of Chiozza and his ability to make something out of nothing.Getting players in positions to take quality shots is coaching.

The fact the shots aren’t going in is no longer an excuse when it’s been bad for 4 years. The problem is White doesn’t really recruit good shooters. There’s no Lee Humphrey, Brad Beal, Mike Miller, Matt Bonner, Teddy Dupay. White May have recruited well but he just recruits players and then try to throw them into his non-existent mainly perimeter based offensive system but hasn’t bothered to recruit some really good shooters. He has some very good athletes but he would prefer to play a slow tempo half court offensive game when you don’t have 1 or 2 guys that can stretch the floor.
It hasn’t worked and it isn’t going to work and he’s likely going to get fired at some point because we are in year 5 and the quality of basketball just isn’t very good.
His offense has sucked for 3 or so seasons now. At some point you have to put the blame on him and not the players. He better get it together soon or he may find himself in the unemployment lineGetting players in positions to take quality shots is coaching.

You made this false claim before and I corrected you. Now you repeat it again...
In the Elite-8 2nd season, Hill was the starting PG, not the cheese.
And that was the last time that Mike had a 6-11 center play the season.
The cheese helped carry the team the next season while Egubnu was recovering and Gak was never 100% .
Last season Egbunu chose to turn Pro, and Gak never returned from injury rehab.
Mike still made the round of 32 playing 3 true Fr and without a true center,,, again.
The last 2 years he's had to play a 6-9 PF at center. (Egbunu & Gak out)
This year, he's playing a 6-10 PF at center, or 6-9 Bassett. (Gak's still out), while he's also trying to get 2 true Fr, a 6-10 PF/C and a 6-11 C in game shape to play some in the low post.
You few are welcome to your opinions, but imo, you're clueless about what it takes to make a top quality basketball coach.
PS
Give me your profession opinions on what a coach should do coaching wise, to make his shooters put the ball in the basket at a higher rate? Be specific....
Wait, I think I understood that. So converting into football terms, this would be like running a fast break scheme when you have recruited nothing but wishbone type guys.
Insta’ you keep asking what can White do to help them make baskets and everybody keeps answering: push the pace! Use your athletes to beat the defense down the floor and get some easy baskets and free throws. White doesn’t want to do it. He thinks it will hurt his defense, which is fair enough, but there are plenty of teams that play good defense but will push the ball. So that’s fine if that’s his choice of style, but then he has to deal with the second guessing when you lose low scoring games.
I did. Run a different offensive scheme. Especially one that works towards the strength of your players and then actually recruit some legit shooters.You made this false claim before and I corrected you. Now you repeat it again...

When a coach has athletes and depth like we do this year, the good ones press and force the action, push the ball, get easy looks and fast break points. Yet we are still playing the slowdown, halfcourt , plodding offense we ran when we had slow guys and no depth. That, to me, is piss poor coaching. This team has more talent than any team in the Mike White era and is underperforming because the coach isn't maximizing their abilities. He is forcing them to a style of play that takes away their advantages and allows lesser teams to beat them. I have been watching Gator basketball since the 60's and this is the worst example of getting the least out of the most that I have ever seen from a Gator basketball coach. He's already admitted that his pre-season practices were ones of an up-tempo style and just before the season started he reverted to the slowdown. How can a team respond when the coach can't make up his mind how he wants them to play and then chooses a way that limits their chances of being successful? I really want Mike White to succeed, but it ain't happening.
Bradley you and maybe other need to pay attention in the game. That, and listen to what Mike says in his interviews. They use both methods in games at times and lean to whichever is working best at the time. Making your WIDE OPEN shots has got squat to do with the playing pace. They are missing layups, bunnies, 14 footers and 3's at a shocking rate for the quality talent levels on this team.
What's frustrating to me is the inconsistency of their play.
W - UF 79 - 59 UNF (-20)
L - UF 51 - 63 FSU (+12)
W - UF 78 - 58 scUM (-20)
L - UF 62 - 76 Butler (+14)
W - UF 81 - 51 Providence (-30)
L - UF 62 - 65 USU (+3)
And it seems that the Mike White detractors ONLY ever talk about the losses.
They get lockjaw and/or disappear whenever it's a quality win.
I also don't hear the detractors acknowledge that Mike is playing the #1 OoC schedule in the SEC, #14 in the Nation, while he's using the 14th youngest team in the Nation.
If I was a B-Ball coach,,, and UF fired Mike White for the job that he's doing, I wouldn't touch the job with a 10 foot pole if it was offered...
Well, it's JMOHO here, but I believe what YOU'D do as the Gator's B-Ball coach, is take a wet stinky dump, and then fall back into it...
--- BTW, have you ever been named a CoY in 3 different conferences?
Have you taken a loser 16-17 team to an Elite-8 in your 2nd year?
Have you,,,, oh never mind....

I mean it’s pointless to debate with a cheerleader, but Mike White is on the record saying he wants to use shot clock and limit possessions. And that he wants his players to “pick their spots” when to push pace. If you’re going to choose to play like that when you know your team has a hard time making shots in the half court, then you can’t cry in press conferences about your team missing shots. You know the team misses shots, yet you choose to play a style that limits possessions and thus shots and so makes shotmaking a premium.
I don’t think he should be feeling any serious heat yet, but if he doesn’t win a couple games in the tourney, or compete for a conference title, it’s fair that he feels some heat next year. Why shouldn’t we compete at the top of the SEC?

this is stupid. Obviously Paco isn’t saying he should be the coach. He’s saying there are other coaches out there who might do a better job.
Pointless cheerleader? While your only point is on the top of your little head...
Bradley you really are this clueless aren't you? (rhetorical)
Get someone to read you post back to you and point out the inconsistencies to you.
Play fast, can't make a layup and increases the turnovers.
Slow down, can't make the 14 footers or the 3's. -- Result - L
And then in the next game they can go off for 79-81 points while hitting most of their shots, no matter the pace they are playing at. Result - W
BTW, even the gawd-like BillyD only won the SEC about 1/3 of the time, and the SEC Tourney around 1/5 of the times.
Mike took over a loser team and has 20+ wins every season along with 4 consecutive post season tourneys, 1 NIT, 3 Consecutive NCAA's, with ZERO one & dones....

This is even dumber. Not one of you detractors has posted a coaches name that's available for the job, wants it, or would risk it if Mike White was fired.
So,,,, NAME YOUR BETTER COACH, that's available and wants the job... (crickets)
~ And if you don't have that replacement coach all lined up, then maybe it's a good idea to try and support the 3x CoY that you already have.

Why don't you just start posting these instead of your Mike White takes? They're just as informative and better to look at.
If you are happy with the way the basketball program is performing than more power to you I guess. This is his 5th year and UF has been good in one of those years. If that satisfies you then so be it. We just have different level of expectations.This is even dumber.

I would love to see what Coach K, Tom Izzo, Bill Self, Jay Wright, Roy Williams or even Caliperi or Bruce Pearl would do with this year's Gator basketball team. Guarantee they wouldn't be playing the halfcourt slowdown mode and would have a much better record than 7-4.
And are any of those coaches available and willing to come here and try to live up to the entire 'Gator Standard' required of the job?
Straw-man guarantees are worth the paper they're written on...
Greener grass gators gonna green I guess...
Towards the end of the year or when White is about to get fired I will come up with a list of potential coaching candidates. It isn’t high on my list of things to do right now.And are any of those coaches available and willing to come here and try to live up to the entire 'Gator Standard' required of the job?

Hopefully it gets corrected in SEC play but we could possibly not have a good OOC win if Xavier loses to Villanova in their upcoming game.
Even more importantly and with more relevance,,,, a planet killer asteroid could hit Gainesville at 11:00 AM tomorrow and remove all needless worry about what could be...
My point with bringing up some current elite coaches in a prior post is that I have no doubt they would not be handling the Gator team the way Mike White is. They would be maximizing their talent, athleticism and depth to take it to their opponents, forcing the action. I was not suggesting that we could get any of these coaches to come to Gainesville, but was simply saying that White is not in their class. I have been a supporter of White for the most part, but it has become apparent to me that he is not an elite coach. He appeared to be a solid hire at the time and he has had some measure of success. And he has recruited extremely well the last 2 years. He just seems to not know what to do with the talent he's got, where the elite coaches I mentioned have proven that they can recruit and coach a team to play up to their potential and win on a consistent basis against Top 20 teams. The University of Florida deserves that kind of coach and I'm afraid right now we don't have one. I'm still pulling for all Gators in all sports, players and coaches alike, as I have for the last 60+ years. But I have serious reservations about the basketball program and it's obvious others with more inside knowledge than me do as well.
Nope, he sure isn't any good at all. Fire his ass is the only possible cure for this Gator B-Ball disgrace....
Takes over a LOSER 16-17 team and immediately takes them to a 20 win season with an NIT Quarter Final appearance, without any of his earned home games due to the O'Dome renovations.
In his 2nd year, he takes them to a 27 win season and the Elite-8, being named the SEC CoY. (previously named MWC and C-USA CoY)
In his 3rd and 4th years, he again wins 20+ games and the Rnd of 32 with his 6-11 centers injured out, playing a 6-9 PF at center instead. The 4th year he still didn't go 1 & Done at the dance, even while starting 3 true Fr.
Whiners descry his ability to recruit, so he brings in a Top 7 class with 2 Micky-D AA's, giving him 3 Top 50's to go with the one from the previous year and 2 more Top 100's.
Now with 9 FNG's including 5 true Fr, he's not already going undefeated so he's crappe'.
I couldn't agree more, FIRE HIS INCOMPETENT ASS TODAY, no need to wait any longer.

Quality post - I haven’t even looked at this thread in months, and just thought I’d look at the last page to catch up on the InstaLoon White take..... and was rewarded with her at top of page - well done!
We have 19 games left - 18 SEC games, plus a game against Baylor. How many do we need to win to make the NCAA tournament? Mike White has had a decent first 4 years, but has won nothing. In Billy Donovan's first 4 years, he won the SEC regular season title in year 4 and was national runner-up to Michigan State. In years 5 & 6, Florida also won the SEC regular season championship. To be an elite coach your teams have to win something. Until Mike White actually wins something, questioning and doubting is reasonable and should be expected. Our SOS and RPI can't be nearly as good as they were last year because we only have 1 remotely quality win (Xavier) and I would expect we need at least 20 wins to make the tournament. Is going 12-7 down the stretch doable and likely?
I would think 12-7 would get us in. That's 20-11 with Baylor and SEC schedule left our strength of schedule will be really good. Anything short of that will put us squarely on the bubble, Which is a horrible thought when you consider the talent level.
UF has played the #1 OoC SoS in the SEC, the #14 in the nation.
Going 8-4 with the 14th youngest team in the nation means NADA.
And of course bringing home the Charleston Classic Trophy means NADA.
==========
What Mike White's offense looks like when the shooters are putting the ball in the basket:
UF 102 -- 63 LBSt
FG -- 52.9%
3's -- 40.0%
FT -- 55.2%
RB -- 49 (to 31)
Stl -- 10 (to 4)
Ast - 19
T-O - 10
~~ With 6 players scoring in double-digits...
Kee-tae - 21 Pts / 27 Min
Blackshear - 21 Pts, 24 Min
Locke - 16 Pts - 28 Min
Payne - 11 Pts - 22 Min
Glover - 11 Pts - 24 Min
Mann - 10 Pts - 22 Min
Start a game going 0-14 and you lose.
Start a game going 5-6 and you win big.
What happens when they 'make' their shots?
The Gators scored the first 14 Pts of the game.
The gators led by 28 pts at the half.
Nembhard had a career day with 13 assists, to just 1 T-O.
(you've got to make the shot for the assist to count)
Paint Pts = 42
Bench Pts = 28
T-O Pts = 25
2nd chance Pts = 22
Fast Break Pts = 12
"We've just got to make shots. Honestly, it's as easy as that," said Nembhard, whose team began the day having shot a poor 39.7% in home games, so the 54% effort this time must have felt like a layup line. "It's as easy as that; we have to make shots, but we also have to take good shots. We took good shots, we made more shots, and our shooting percentage was higher."
FT Notes: These 3 should end every practice with 100 extra FT's.
Glover 0-3
Gak 0-2
Payne 1 of 3
-----
And it wouldn't hurt having these join them by taking 50.
Kee-Tae 3-5
Jitoboh 3-6
Mann 1-2
While Blackshear gets a gold star and a pass at the FT line.
However, he can spend that time at the Arc if he's going to keep shooting from there.
=====
Rebounders
Locke - 10 - Double-Double (16/10)
Payne - 9
Blackshear - 8
Kee-Tae - 6
Glover - 4
Mann - 3
Bassett - 2
3 others with 1 each..
Hey everybody, do a good turn and 'Pray-4-Tre' to come out of his early season funk....
Going 8-4 with the 14th youngest team in the nation means NADA.

Kee-tae - 21 Pts / 27 Min
Blackshear - 21 Pts, 24 Min
Locke - 16 Pts - 28 Min
Payne - 11 Pts - 22 Min
Glover - 11 Pts - 24 Min
Mann - 10 Pts - 22 Min
Start a game going 0-14 and you lose.
Start a game going 5-6 and you win big.
What happens when they 'make' their shots?
The Gators scored the first 14 Pts of the game.
The gators led by 28 pts at the half.
Nembhard had a career day with 13 assists, to just 1 T-O.
(you've got to make the shot for the assist to count)
Paint Pts = 42
Bench Pts = 28
T-O Pts = 25
2nd chance Pts = 22
Fast Break Pts = 12
"We've just got to make shots. Honestly, it's as easy as that," said Nembhard, whose team began the day having shot a poor 39.7% in home games, so the 54% effort this time must have felt like a layup line. "It's as easy as that; we have to make shots, but we also have to take good shots. We took good shots, we made more shots, and our shooting percentage was higher."
FT Notes: These 3 should end every practice with 100 extra FT's.
Glover 0-3
Gak 0-2
Payne 1 of 3
-----
And it wouldn't hurt having these join them by taking 50.
Kee-Tae 3-5
Jitoboh 3-6
Mann 1-2
While Blackshear gets a gold star and a pass at the FT line.
However, he can spend that time at the Arc if he's going to keep shooting from there.
