It’s still a work in progress for head coach Mike White and the Florida Gators basketball team.
As the Gators head into week two of practice fatigue is setting in but the enthusiasm is still rising—and Coach White is making sure of it.
“We’re coming off a practice where we struggled more than others. Our first subpar practice was [Wednesday], so we’re gonna crank it up a notch [Thursday] and get right at some competition a little earlier than we have been. Sometimes after you’ve been going a week and a half, ten days, however long it has been, they’re all running together a bit right now, that freshness can wear off and you’ve got to dig a little deeper and continue doing those hard things you don’t necessarily like doing—transition defense, blocking out, all the dirty work—so we’ll get back at that.
