I rewatched the Florida F4 game today. Holy crap was Boat good. Really, he was tremendous the whole run. His defense was Ricky-esque, he hit countless foul line pull-ups in big spots, and took the ball to the hoop like AI. Watching him and Bazz just dominate was really cool and it really makes you respect the insights of Greg Anthony and Kerr who could see the little things they were doing to absolutely control those games.
Shot at Kevin or nah?
I remember the way he deked Kentucky when he took a rebound back out, then spun and drove baseline with a reverse layup. Shocked Kentucky.

That was a great read -- happy they established that program.
Smart move, Bazz and Boat are strong personality lead dogs and Bazz is about the most demanding college player ever, he had the mentality of an old coach as a 20 year old.From the article, Boat talking about Shabazz:
“You ask anybody that was around the program, they’ll tell you we didn’t see eye-to-eye on a lot of things in my first year, and part of my second year. It took my second half of my sophomore season, from there on, we became best friends. (Kevin Ollie) made us live together my sophomore year, and that played a big role in our relationship. And now we’re best friends.”
I had never heard that about KO forcing them to room together, pretty shrewd move.

Jordanesque, minus the dunk.I remember the way he deked Kentucky when he took a rebound back out, then spun and drove baseline with a reverse layup. Shocked Kentucky.
It's not a comparative statement. There is no allusion he doesn't love playing for JC AND KO And DH. Accept the statement for what it is praise of DH and nothing derogatory towards any other coach.Shot at Kevin or nah?
