Florida believes it has another young, up-and-coming coach.
The first one made basketball matter in Gainesville.
This one has the tough task of following Billy Donovan.
The Gators hired Louisiana Tech's Michael White on Thursday, a week after Donovan left to take the head coaching job with the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder.
White, who led the Bulldogs to a 27-9 record and the NIT quarterfinals last season, agreed to a six-year deal worth $2 million annually. He is scheduled to be formally introduced at a news conference Monday.
