As a kid growing up in Gainesville going to totally irrelevant Florida Gators basketball games at a musty, cramped, archaic old gym known as Alligator Alley, I’m ashamed of many of the Johnny-Come-Lately Gator fans of today.
Mostly, I’m ashamed about how they are treating Mike White — a good man, a good father, a good husband and, yes, a good basketball coach.
White says he doesn’t see or hear the mean-spirited, ridiculous, fire-the-coach criticism being heaped upon him by the idiotic minority of Gator fans on social media who are freaking out after a loss to 15th-seeded Oral Roberts in the second-round of the NCAA Tournament a couple of weeks ago and the resulting rash of UF players (four) who have since entered the transfer portal.
