ATHENS â Somewhere, one might imagine, Georgia menâs basketball coach Mike White was tuned into the final moments of UConnâs epic 19-point comeback win over Duke in the NCAA tournament on Sunday.

I corrected him on that in another article about Mike White recently. Same as the other article, this article also contains the name of the UGA basketball coach in the headline. I have no idea who Mike Price is lol
Mike Price??? Again..the name of the UGA basketball coach is printed in the headline..MIKE WHITE. Seems if youre going to criticize someone, you could at least get the name right..Bleachdawg.
Mike Price was the football coach at Bama for about ten minutes who came from Washington state before his scandal came out. Maybe he’s a Bama fan troll
I am sure it is not lost on coach White that two of the final four teams - Arizona and Illinois - each have 3-4 players that were not born in US who either start or play significant minutes. These are older guys who have been playing professionally in Europe, who are leaving their European and other countries teams to "go to college" and reap the NIL reward. The traditional high school recruiting model for college basketball is pretty much dead. to compete coaches need players who can contribute "NOW" and most guys straight out of high school are not ready. Coach White needs to start looking outside the country for players and look especially for big athletic guys who can run the floor, score and defend at a high level. Pretty obvious that you can't compete at tournament time without multiple big guys who can score, defend and hit the boards.
The posts below are a riot! In our house we call him the robot. His look/demeanor never (or very rarely) change. Get fired up! Heck get tossed from a game! Let your players see that passion.
Rats are bailing once again on the SS MediocreMike…this unlimited portal b s is so effed up. As @76junkyarddawg stated, this semi-pro NIL B S has turned the European pros into "amateur college athletes" earning way more than they can as pros over there…what a farce!
Explain one thing to me then please, good sir…Mediocre Mike had the largest basketball budget and best resources a coach could hope for at FLOOOREEEDA and yet, what did he accomplish? We could double and triple the budget for him but it still won't make him a great coach…
Thanks for clarifying who Mike Price is, now I know. And like you, I wouldnt be suprised if the troll(?) has a house full of Bama memorabilia.
1 of the best, and straight to the point comments I've read about the current state of college athletics. Comedians would be hard pressed to top the joke college sports has become.
I will put up with this mess for football, but not for basketball. I don't know how coaches do it.
I am all for the players getting paid, but this movement once a year for up to 6 years is just harming the sport.
