    I like what Coach Golden has done with this team. Finally have the Biggs to play with the guards. I do see free throw shooting as a pretty glaring weakness at this point for the team. Sooner or later is gonna cost us a tight game. Seems to me that something that could be Easily improved upon in the gym. Your thoughts?

    Don't hire Shaq as a free throw consultant.

    Hire Teddy Dupay to correct form and approach.
    Bring Teddy back. One of the greatest shooters the gators have ever had.

    Basically, if it wasn't for our exceptional rebounding, we would pretty much suck.

    Decline or disfavor with mid-range jumper and poor free throw shooting make me think practice could be missing or deemphesised at that range.

    Let's just say that we would have lost the last game. After that, we are a team in transition. It will take some time.


    And alcohol. LOTS of alcohol.

    Less alcohol than the Mike White era for me. I will take a physical team that loses attacking over that any day. If we can get even adequate with free throw shooting and get 3s to start dropping, we can compete with anyone. Different emotional alcohol intake then….
