Either "that"....or..UGA won the SECC and made the NCAA Tournament.
Which is still possible.
I'm giving White and the Team, the benefit of the doubt. After his showing last year with a thin roster...and, his recruiting for this year. Maybe, there's a strategy in-play, that we just haven't seen yet.
I always try to remember one thing, that my Dad used to talk about. It's not where you start out, that matters....it's where you end up. Steady work and practice, will get you there.
Maybe....just, maybe....White is trying to get "everybody", new and old.…bench and starter, on the same page, for an SECC run. It's hard to see that, with seemingly NO improvement, week over week.
The question(s) I would have for White, is.....What do YOU see, and are you where you thought you would be, at this stage of the season? Will you be ready for the SECC Tourney and what will "ready" look like?
“At halftime, we’ve tried watching positive, we’ve tried watching negative, we’ve tried not watching, we’ve tried just talking, we’ve tried no talking, we’ve tried giving our guys a lot of time just on their own, we’ve tried giving them on time on their own, we’ve met in the middle‚” White said. “This is a mystery”
It ain’t no mystery Mediocre Mike. How about try COACHING and DEVELOPING…oh wait, that would mean pretending to be a head coach, never mind. Carry o with your excuse filled post game presser.
What happened to the earlier comments on this story?
As I said then, what legitimate program in ANY sport would hire a mediocre head coach from its most bitter rival? Dawgs basketball looking like Hawks, who've never so much as played for an NBA championship during their 57 years in ATL—let alone won one.
White wants his players to show more emotion. Fair enough but players tend to take on the personality of their coach. I’ve seen cadavers that are more inspirational.
That "trying", may be the problem, to begin with. That means it's "a thing", now.
To Mike White....Don't try all that chicken waving voodoo to get rid of a problem you all created in your own head. Don't think about it...everybody, just do your thing. Slumps ease up...once you ease up.
If you wanna "try something" different?....Maybe, "try" letting a comedian give the halftime speech. Lol...Don Rickles would've been a good 'un.
Looks like we're dealing with a mental snowball. That'll pass, with a fresh start in the SEC Championship. Everything gets dialed back to zero and records are 0-0. Let's see how they deal with that.
My wife and I call him the Robot (per plateaudawg's comment below about emotion) Stone faced and pacing the court!😝
I wonder how Griffith is going to sugarcoat this loss?
🎶Same ol song and, same ol song and dance my friend!
The 2nd half collapse (whether the 2nd half of the game or the season) just looks all too familiar under Mike White. I think it's time for him to go.
Why did we hire the coach at Florida that they were trying to fire themselves? Greg McCavity?
The UGA leadership is too cheap to hire us a real competitive mens basketball coach. That's really the bottom line. We are the laughing stock of the SEC in basketball.
