I honestly don't recall. Did they have fan support ? Before? Did they build? Was this riding on the wave of the football success ?

Seems like they fill up the stands. I know Gainesville is a bigger city and HS basketball is big in Florida.


As far as the arcticle goes... if Smart doesn't win the East, it won't mean he is a Clown. I think it will hurt his momentum a bit. He can obviously recruit. It is hard to look at the East right now and not say UGA will be the most talented team. I want to see that he can coach up a team. Didn't see it last year. Excuses and all.

Florida went to the Final Four in 1994 and the title game in 2000 (I believe Lon Kruger was their HC then), so Donovan didn't quickly build a championship program from scratch. He just took what Kruger had built and ramped it up several levels higher.
