No matter whether it’s Florida basketball or anywhere else, as a coach, you never want to tell your shooters not to shoot.
However, for Mike White and the Gators, there might be a time when that philosophy is put to the test.
Saturday night, Florida basketball shot a dismal 32.3% from the field — including an appalling 29% in the first half — in a 65-62 loss to Utah State in Sunrise, Florida.
I’m not sure if ugly is the best word to represent just how bad of a shooting night it was.
What’s worse is Florida basketball had a lead early in the second half.
