Earlier, you conceded Coach K is better than Donovan, I actually disagree. But all great artists go through lulls in their game, peaks and valleys in their prowess. Coach Izzo, you may remember his from the finals in '00, he just went through the same thing, owned up to it, and now has his team back on track this year. It happens, it's no knock on Billy, just a wake up call. Call it tough love, whatever. Glad we beat Kentucky. I, also, think we are in very capable hands.

He gets it. Trust me. No sane, rational fan believes this program isn't in capable hands. We are on the right track. We have had two bad seasons. We are not lost in the dark, trying to find our way. We are going where we need to be, back to the top. We have the right coach to get us there. Compare that to the struggles of Kentucky, whose fanbase is coming to the realization that Billy G is probably not the answer. Uncertainty and doubt constitute their future, as it has for the past 10 seasons. Our future is bright, men. Florida basketball is on its way back even now.

All i've said is that BIlly has perhaps lost a little something. He's not performing like he used to (ei, doing less with higher ranked recruits). When did I say I didn't want Donovan to be our coach? Did I say that? I said its time to point the finger at him! It is! If the coach can't be held accountable . . . well . . . maybe that's the problem! lol Have you written me a straw man argument in your own head?

So Donovan isn't as good a coach as Coach K - we'll give you that. But since it is unlikely that Coach K is leaving Duke after 30 years to coach at UF, I'll stay with Donovan for now thank you very much. I have never heard a single Donovan basher suggest even a remotely possible coach to replace him. In the real world, Donovan is the best we are going to get right now, so let the man finish out this season with his pathetic product (no argument that this team was recruited by him) and let's see if he can rebound after 2 pretty bad years and take the Gators back to the NCAAs and respectability next season. I think he can. Does anyone have a realistic suggestion for a better coach to lead the Gators? Okay. So Donovan isn’t as good a coach as Coach K - we’ll give you that.

Hopefully, Boykins is the missing 'link' we need to make a run next year. GO GATORS!!! Hopefully a successful football season will dull out this years b-ball misfortune.

And as far as that b-ball program before billy, no doubt he has been great. My only point is that hasn't been at nearly the same level these last two years (and that with higher rated recruits than he took to three final fours). So add that to your assessment of my perception of reality. Thank you very much. Ok if i’m so wrong, please point to the last time Coach K went back to back NIT.

Corey doesn't seem to be living in reality. I'll take Back2Back titles then 2 years in the NIT any time as would most College B Ball fans. Next year this team is totally different- in a good way. Can't wait to see macklin in Orange and Blue. In all kinds of weather Corey! well put SKIGATOR93. Corey doesn’t seem to be living in reality.
