UF men's basketball coach Mike White speaks at his introductory press conference on May 11 in the Gator Room at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
Not so fast, White says.
"All of my mentors and people who I respect in the business have all given pretty similar advice, and that’s including Jeremy Foley and Billy Donovan" White said, "Just be yourself."
Doing things his own way has gotten White this far, at least.
It’s something he learned from a mentor, former Jacksonville State head coach Mike LaPlante, while working under the coach at the Alabama-based university.
