I know there was first half foul trouble, but looking at the box score, notice that Jones led us with 34 minutes played and generated all of three points and 4 assists. Felder was outstanding in the first half replacing Duruji, but hardly saw the court in the second half. Appleby should be starting for Jones and Felder needs to play more minutes including occasionally at the "3" Florida vs. Maryland - Box Score - December 12, 2021 - ESPN
All signs that a coach really doesn’t have a feel for his team. Maybe it’s just a regression back to the fact that the roster is full of transfers and CMW still just doesn’t know what roles they all should play yet. The early season success was not indicative of the struggles the team would have overall due to its makeup.
Gosh, hope Mike can figure this out and right the ship. Seems most years our guys are total ballers during the first 4-6 games only to nose dive thereafter. Is Mike over-coaching these guys? Giving them too much info that they think too much before reacting? Starting to think that Mike should just roll the ball out there and let the boys play ala Calipari?
I think it’s more like teams are figuring out very quickly what we are trying to do by watching tape of the first 5-6 games and White is unable to respond.
This in my opinion is a problem this year. I was very excited about this team early, especially after breaking the FSU curse, but it appears this team has been figured out. The only reason we were even in the game in the first half is because we hit a high volume of 3’s at a good percentage. And since we are speaking about coaching and adjustments, what about a couple years ago when White worked all offseason with the players on an offense only to have to scrap it a few games into the season and having to try to install a new offense during the season. That was one of the most embarrassing coaching moments I’ve seen. I really want White to work out but I just don’t think he can put together a product that’s any better than just decent.
