Reports: Georgia to hire Florida’s Mike White as basketball coach

The Florida Gators men’s basketball team failing to make the 2022 NCAA Tournament has been hotly debated in the days since, with the program likely heading for its first NIT berth in five years being used to once again cast Mike White’s tenure as a failure and call for his firing.

As it turns out, though, those fans won’t get White’s firing as their wish — but he will also no longer be the head coach at Florida, per multiple reports as of Sunday afternoon, with CBS’s Jon Rothstein leading a number of basketball writers in reporting that White will depart Florida for Georgia, of all places.
