Re: The âhardâ steps that must come next for Georgia basketball, Mike White
I wonder if the High Point coach would be interested in the Mike White gig at UGa…they looked like a very well coached team in spite of the talent gap.

Re: The âhardâ steps that must come next for Georgia basketball, Mike White
I watched High Point give Arkansas all it could handle. High Point. A really small school. They give higher seeds fits in the tournament every year and are consistently a tough out. What do they have with the limited resources of a small school that SEC heavyweights don't? I wish we could have some of that. But they are a prime example of consistently doing more with less. Easy team to root for. Georgia looked like they were throwing the game. Can't say that didn't cross my mind.
Re: The âhardâ steps that must come next for Georgia basketball, Mike White
I don't get these Contracts with Buyout Clauses that amount to rewarding a lousy coach, with a lottery windfall...for doing nothing more than failing their mission and getting fired.
These Universities are throwing our money around like Monopoly Dollars. The amount means nothing to em.…cause, it's Free Money.....to everybody concerned except the consumer and taxpayer.
A HC Contract, should by no means, be extended beyond 3 years. Smh...10 year Contracts with 70-80 Million Dillar buyouts....sounds more like theft and collusion between Universities, Lawyers & Agents. And, we're the Patsies.
What a waste. Absurd, asinine....irresponsible! This is one of the first things the WH Executive Order needs to address.
Why not make it a year to year deal...just like the player? It used to be a plus to have a Head Coach locked in for multiple years. It was a selling point on the recruiting trail.
Not No Mo'!!!!! We all know what sells, these days. And, it ain't Coaching. Lol
You can't keep recruits around, long enough to enjoy the value of a Great Coaching Staff. Cause...a Great Coaching Staff, coaches HARD. And, some of our soft youth, can't seem to take that, anyway. Lol
Btw....HC's like Kirby Smart are exempt...due to tenure & track record. Just sayin'.
Re: The âhardâ steps that must come next for Georgia basketball, Mike White
OH…AND in other breaking Georgia sports program news, the red hot Diamond Dawgs took a tough road series at 23 ranked aTm over the weekend to keep in tact their unblemished series win streak this season…go pups!

Re: The âhardâ steps that must come next for Georgia basketball, Mike White
The message that the President and Athletic Director of UGA sent out to Dawgnation when they hired the same coach that Florida had been trying very hard to fire is that Georgia will continue to flop around like a fish out of water when it comes to basketball. Price can't recruit a team, so we waste big bucks buying one for a year of so. These mercenaries couldn't care less about the G or even an education. When Price stringed together a few wins in a row, they went crazy and gave him a significant pay raise. Now we're stuck with yet another middling coach for multiple years. I am officially calling it quits with UGA mens basketball, long term. Kudos to Floriida for throwing the anchor named Mike Price around our necks.

Next hard step? Fire that clown. Not only does the embarrassing, humiliating loss cloud the season, the pre-sec season clouds it just as much because of all the low level wins Georgia had to get to 22 wins. Yes, they went 10-8 in conference, so that equates to a .500 team which would not have been invited to the tournament. They clearly showed that they didn’t belong. IF, and that’s a huge IF, they ever make it back to the tournament, I won’t pick them to win in my bracket ever again. At least the Lady Dawgs showed up and played hard, even though they blew an 8 point lead late.
Re: The âhardâ steps that must come next for Georgia basketball, Mike White
That's what you want....a Coach that can prepare his team to "hit up"...not, just take care of business when they're expected to.
Imo....Losing is hard....but, Winning is harder. And, the Basket-Dawgs, "can't stand prosperity"....Lol, as my Dear ol' Dad used to say about the Braves & Falcons. Lol.…almost everytime we watched em play. 'Course rhe Braves, at least came through, occasionally.
I don't care to see the Basket-Dawgs become just another ho-hum project...where, we're just "happy to be there", at the end of the season. In other words....like the Braves & Falcons.
