Donovan kicks Gators out of Practice Facility
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=3298503&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- When the Florida Gators lost in the first round of the Southeastern Conference tournament, they knew it knocked them out of the NCAA tournament field.

They had no idea it also would get them kicked out of their practice facility.

Coach Billy Donovan, feeling like his players had settled into a state of complacency and entitlement, banned them from Florida's $12 million facility. He also told them they couldn't wear any Florida attire.


what a brat. the man has been talking, publically, for much of the season about how awful his players are, how they won't play defense, follow instructions or play hard in general. Hey, uh, Billy? they are your recruits.

1. The Attire Issue
I do not see how he can stop them from wearing the schools attire since they actually go to the school.

2. I think he can make them eat dog food, if he wants to
that's the point.

3. I'd show up the next day wearing a Gators shirt and make him make me take it off.

4. Is HE not part of the team??
I guess he is trying to fire up the team, but he should lead by example and kick himself out of the facility.
