    they were up more like 30, but I see what you're saying...

    Florida plays 9-10 guys in a normal game, and the entire 1st half of that game, they all laid eggs, so i dont think there was anything wrong with it...

    just simply trying to get them all back on track.

    I personally think Donovan is a lot classier than a lot of the BB coaches I've seen, plus it's hard to be too critical of a guy having his team in a position to win two NCs in a row.

    it has nothing to do with coaching skills, either... he just isnt nearly as personable as someone in the public light should be.

    I can point out two very prominent names to all of you for a great reason to have your starters sitting down when the game is over

    Tyrone Prothro
    Ben Wilkerson

    Both of these players careers were ruined by playing in games that was all but over. Two [possible future NFL players.

    Who cares what Donovan does? Obviously he is doing something right. I'm pretty sure championship coaches don't scheme in personal spite for the other team into their gameplans.

    Matt Mauck's season was ended in a 30+ pt game in the 4th quarter.

    Just for the heck of it...

    Do any of you guys remember who his "tutor" was in the college coaching ranks? Do you recall where he went to college and what he was known for?

    It came across my attn. today...thinking back to '87 when Pitino was still coaching at Providence. Donovan was on his team...made it to the sweet 16 that year...and a lot of that success was due to the guard play...the 3-ball was his thing then, as it is a lot of the time now.
