Lon Kruger: Final Four (1994: 4 years)

Billy Donovan: Championship Game (2000: 4 years)

Mike White: Elite 8 (2017: 2 years)

Hopefully White can complete the pattern

Impressive. Bunch of Gator fans will have to eat crow after the reaction to the hire last year.

Its crazy how similar his demeanor is to Billy D's.

I didn't keep up much back then. We're there a lot of people upset with the hire? Who else was out there? He seems like a BD clone.

I really appreciate him saying he screwed up last night by not fouling. Very refreshing to have a coach that can own up.

I think a few were expecting a bigger name, but I'm not sure we could have found a more perfect fit.

There were the people really wanting Archie Miller or Chris Mack

There was also a few people pushing for Pelphrey (because supposedly Donovan wanted him to get the job)

In retrospect it was a great hire

No way UF should have won that game last night. When momentum turns like that it's over, it feels like everything you do is futile . To get the win under those conditions was spectacular. Big props.

It's amazing how bad women's basketball has been when everything else went well under Foley.
