OK, the last Dooley’s Dozen may have depressed you a little as I gave you my 12 reasons why Florida has sunk into mediocrity in football and basketball.
The only thing I can do to lift your spirits is to relive the past, especially when it comes to basketball.
I started thinking about all of the Sweet 16s I was lucky enough to cover and some I did not cover. So, I decided to rank them.
Of course, there are only 11 in the history of Florida basketball and here are the coaches who made it that far:
Norm Sloan 1.
Lon Kruger 1.
Mike White 1.
Billy Donovan, the other 8.
Sigh.
By the way, I found a way to make it 12.
Here we go.
