    Everyone that hits that pipe claim when they emerge from the Lotus the beings await!

    Does anyone think the team can run the 'ol picket fence now that dribble drive is on the shelf?

    Do we all remember the 2000 team that was LOADED with talent? Do yourself a favor and find a game on YouTube from then. And watch the very patterned offense Coach Donovan ran with all that talent. Not to get too technical but there was a weakside to strong side shuffle cut and then screen the screener action that always seemed to get Skinny at the top of the key.

    Basketball has veered away from that type of patterned continuity 21 years later but hopefully Coach White has something in mind to get guys the ball in space against defenders in motion -- because trying to repeatedly beat stationary defenders off the bounce is very difficult at this high level, mostly due to the length and athleticism of the defenders. I love Dribble Drive -- coach it myself -- but at the SEC, NCAA level, just saying "beat your man and create a shot" doesn't work for Florida.

    I've heard that and I believe you, but every time I see an interview with Quentin Tarantino, I just want to slap him.

    We didn't actually run a true DDO. We ran a modified version called the DAALTTUAPATBO.
    Dribble Around a Lot Then Throw Up a Prayer at the Buzzer Offense.

    Tarantino is Scorsese with less talent, but still occasionally produces a good film. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was really good. So is Jackie Brown.

    In defense of the DDO, we may have made it succeed last season with Mr. Keyontae Johnson. There's almost no one in the land that can keep him from going hard to the basket if he gets even the slightest crease.

    I don't care about those guys...unless they can shoot the ball. Then...sign them up!


    Just get the 7-foot ones. The 4-foot grays aren't much for basketball.

    I do too....and I enjoyed the movie. He just runs me the wrong way in his interviews. I'll leave it at that.
