Gators Coach Has a Different Kind of March Madness
Man, you know you’ve screwed up when your coach not only kicks you out of your $12M gym but prohibits you from wearing school colors and logos.
University of Florida men’s basketball coach Billy Donovan is none too happy with his team—the reigning national champs—for not getting a bid in the NCAA tournament. The straw that broke the Gators‘ back? The SEC tournament loss to Alabama. Donovan even made them practice during the bracket revelation on Sunday. (Psst–thanks for sending this, Pat!)
Why did the coach take drastic measures? According to SI, Donovan said,
“They got a facility that the administration has invested a lot in. It’s one of the best in the country. They’ve got a massage therapist to make sure they’re OK after games. They’ve got a private plane that they take to games. The meals that they eat. All those things, these guys came here and went right to the penthouse.”
(”Just like Clay Buchholz” we feel compelled to add after that last word, before cuing the drummer to hit a rimshot. “Or his Dad’s fantasies,” we note after the mild chuckles subside, cuing the drummer a second time).
No word on whether or not sipping mocha lattes from a Gators travel mug was also prohibited, but the answer is probably yes.
We think this is great. Coaches making lesson-teaching dramatic statements ranks right up there with Coach Rants in our Favorite Blog Foddah topics.
