I do feel bad for Grant, I'm surprised he hasn't been more successful. Who knows where his career would be right now if Donovan hadn't changed his mind on the Orlando job.



You wouldn't have all those Elite 8's or 30 win seasons, I can guarantee you that.

Grant is a great man and a decent recruiter, but he's just not a very good head basketball coach.

Exactly. You'd think he would be at LSU, since that also describes Les Miles in football.

I was shocked at how poor the last 2 minutes of that game were called. There was really no set plays or anything. Just pass around and set soft back screens to a player coming to the ball.... Could have at least had back screens to try and get someone going toward the basket. Makes Coach Jones look like Coach K.

For sure, although I do think Grant would have done much better here than he has at Bama. He has a lot of connections in Florida and having spent so much time here it would have been a pretty smooth transition.
