    College Basketball coaching news: NYU head coach Dave Klatsky is expected to join Todd Golden’s staff at Florida as an assistant. Klatsky helped lead NYU to the Division III championship (64-60 L). He’s the brother-in-law of Columbia HC Kevin Hovde, who knows Golden well.

    Someone said he is Alex's cousin. Also from NJ. Terrific analytics guy. Started his own podcast about it. Really solid offensive mind.

    This was my first thought. Turns out they're cousins.

    Read this! Then you'll know Klatsky a bit. Great story. Seems like a fantastic fit. I'm all in on this hire.

    It didn't get noticed here, but Alex Klatsky followed Mike White to UGa as a graduate manager.

    Who is he replacing? Our analytics guy Safir is still here from what I understand.

    Safir and Klatsky are now assistant coaches. Golden will likely resume most of the defensive responsibilities (as he did at SF and in his first year here). Klatsky will probably replace Hovde, but he is also a big analytics guy. Safir ran the analytics, but it’s not restricted to that position.

    This seems to be a similar approach taken by Golden.

    do you really think so? I'm asking sincerely. Sarcasm? Just wondering. Either way is ok.

    Hovde ran the offense and Andrzejek ran the defense.

    But to be fair with this, we hardly know 99.9% of all the Gator fans except when 99.9% of the Gator fans complain about:
    1. Scott Strickland ( shows the depth of their vision)
    2. CBN …on anything including his right to coach.anywhere
    3. Lack of Wi-Fi in all the restrooms ( which I agree with).
    :eek::rolleyes:o_O
