[u/doctor_klopek]

Last 3 don’t count, he didn’t do the little shimmy dance

[u/RollWave1989]

Just looked up his playing career. Dude couldn’t score much but was incredibly efficient with a really high A/TO and held the St. Mary’s FT% record until Delladova beat it. TIL he could ball…

[u/DocSparky2004 → u/RollWave1989]

He could sext

[u/CEOofItaly → u/[deleted]]

I hope you realize nothing came of that and it was all clout chasing. Something far too common with high profile males. Fuck the ones that are guilty but nothing came of the accusations against Golden.

[u/DocSparky2004 → u/[deleted]]

I was just being funny

[u/Hue_Honey → u/DocSparky2004]

Yeah other dude. This was a Wendy’s

[u/Asymmetrical_Anomaly → u/DocSparky2004]

Didn’t you lose to UH 😂

[u/CallSignIceMan → u/[deleted]]

Did you somehow become a Duke fan after 2022?

[u/CallSignIceMan → u/[deleted]]

What you, me, or anybody thinks about Dabo is irrelevant, only one of us claimed they didn’t cheer for a scumbag coach.

[u/CallSignIceMan → u/[deleted]]

Dabo would tell you that the gospel sells itself

[u/CoopDogPrimeNumbers → u/[deleted]]

Reeee the coach of another school for another sport is Christian so I’m vindicated!!

[u/twangtornado → u/[deleted]]

Haaaaaaaa sure pal

[u/Asymmetrical_Anomaly → u/[deleted]]

Okay, thank you for clearing that up for the class

[u/JPro08]

hol up

[u/QuitWhinging → u/JPro08]

Rioux is 7'9. He doesn't even look like the same species as a relatively normal-sized human (Golden is 6'2).

[u/RealisticBag6374]

Was it really 4 back-to-back? There are clocks all over this video and it’s like 4 minutes between the first and last shots

[u/HWLesq → u/RealisticBag6374]

He was busy dancing between each made shot. Come on man, get with the program.

[u/MogaMeteor → u/RealisticBag6374]

It was a competition so players were taking shots in-between.

[u/dfsvegas → u/RealisticBag6374]

If I made one 20 years ago, and then shoot my next one right now and make it, that's still back to back. It's about the attempts, not the time.

[u/quacainia → u/dfsvegas]

Can't let the streak die

[u/dfsvegas → u/quacainia]

That's why I retired. Gotta go out on top.

[u/4r4r4real → u/dfsvegas]

They're implying they took other shots in between that aren't included here

[u/Irritated_User0010]

Great now I’m reminded of what happened.

[u/YouWereBrained]

Hah, on the last one you can hear someone say “what the fuck” before it even goes in.

[u/Katany_999 → u/[deleted]]

Someone is still salty they lost LOL

[u/BamaX19 → u/Katany_999]

Was he cleared of that or did it just kinda go away?

[u/chrstgtr → u/BamaX19]

No evidence of Title IX violations found. There is some evidence to suggest that he did it to non-UF students, which wouldn't be a Title IX violation. But the report didn't comment on that.

[u/GonzoMonzo43 → u/BamaX19]

The university of Florida investigated, and the university of Florida cleared him.

[u/DealerNo4908 → u/GonzoMonzo43]

All they “cleared” was that it didn’t happen within a “university program or activity.” Why do UF fans always conveniently leave that out?

[u/Knook7 → u/GonzoMonzo43]

It was done by an independent firm. Get your facts straight

[u/goodolehal → u/Knook7]

Hired by and funded by…the university of florida

[u/RCBark2K → u/goodolehal]

That’s fair. But who the heck else was going to pay for it?

[u/chrstgtr → u/RCBark2K]

I'm sure some FSU or UGA boosters would've offered to

[u/NotaRepublican85 → u/Knook7]

That said only that nothing happened within a university sanctioned event or program

[u/GoblinTradingGuide → u/BamaX19]

It seems like it was all just smoke and no fire. UF 100% would have fired him if there was anything foul going on.

[u/Particular-Walk1521 → u/GoblinTradingGuide]

Yeah Florida definitely doesn’t have a history of ignoring shit in order to enjoy athletic success

[u/Gigglesandshits11 → u/Particular-Walk1521]

See UF Baseball coach lol

[u/GoblinTradingGuide → u/Particular-Walk1521]

Well if it isn't ole Salty McSalterson

[u/Particular-Walk1521 → u/GoblinTradingGuide]

lol ok

[u/Katany_999 → u/BamaX19]

Internet is your friend

[u/DealerNo4908 → u/Katany_999]

The internet should also be your friend: https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/43585673/florida-coach-todd-golden-cleared-title-ix-investigation

“According to the letter, the Title IX coordinator determined there was no evidence to indicate that sexual harassment "occurred within a university program or activity," and that is why the school had to dismiss the complaint.”

[u/BamaX19 → u/Katany_999]

Don't care enough to read an article about it.

[u/DealerNo4908 → u/[deleted]]

No he wasn’t.

[u/NotaRepublican85 → u/[deleted]]

He was cleared of title IX violations only.

[u/ythug → u/[deleted]]

Its illegal to dm 18-21 year olds

[u/DealerNo4908 → u/ythug]

What he was accused of was more than just DMing, come on.

[u/DealerNo4908 → u/[deleted]]

The conclusion that investigation came to was that there was no evidence it happened “within a university program or event.”

“ESPN on Monday obtained a copy of a letter that the university sent to a female complainant. According to the letter, the Title IX coordinator determined there was no evidence to indicate that sexual harassment "occurred within a university program or activity," and that is why the school had to dismiss the complaint.”

[u/Particular-Walk1521 → u/Katany_999]

Yall were the better team im not mad about that at all

[u/Raven96706 → u/Katany_999]

Dan Hurley would never. . .

[u/lolaya → u/Raven96706]

He really wouldnt

[u/KembaWakaFlocka → u/Katany_999]

Still got the 2014 win(s) to keep my mind off it.

[u/GetsThruBuckner → u/KembaWakaFlocka]

no you don't lol stop the cap

[u/Squirreling_Archer → u/Katany_999]

🙄

[u/WhiteningMcClean → u/Katany_999]

Everyone hates you when you’re on top of

[u/RLLRRR → u/WhiteningMcClean]

Top of what? TOP OF WHAT?!

[u/WhiteningMcClean → u/RLLRRR]

Obviously not my alcohol intake

[u/GetsThruBuckner → u/WhiteningMcClean]

yup

[u/AeroStatikk → u/Katany_999]

Or it’s just funny

[u/Saltillokid11]

I'll see you again in March Florida, I'm looking forward to a rematch. Only next time it will be Sampson throwing his tie from half court.

[u/Mike_with_Wings → u/Saltillokid11]

That game was insanely stressful, but one of the best games I’ve ever watched.

[u/Gator1508 → u/Mike_with_Wings]

I have hard time rewatching anything but last few minutes because we played like dogshit most of the game.   Rewatching all that stuff you see forced shots that didn’t need to be take and stupid turnovers. And not even taking away from the actual good defense Houston played, just some of the horrible decisions we forced in response.  

[u/Jealous-Mushroom-858 → u/Mike_with_Wings]

I’m sure it was very fun for neutrals to watch but as a Florida fan that stuff didn’t even feel like a real game. When the game ended it was still not setting in like “wait we actually won???”

[u/Knook7 → u/Saltillokid11]

We have an absolutely mental OOC schedule, but its a real shame we don't play y'all next year. Although your roster is so insane idk if we'd have a shot

[u/Jealous-Mushroom-858 → u/Knook7]

Our roster is considered better going into this season than it was going into last season. We’d have a shot and would probably win. How many allegedly super talented teams did Golden and friends embarrass last season?

[u/AntiDECA → u/Saltillokid11]

I think the majority of Florida fans would be happy with Houston winning if Florida goes out early to another team.

There's no bad blood between the teams, we got our last championship off of them, and the way Houston lost last year was just heartbreaking... Watching the ball bounce that you're forbidden from grabbing while the clock drains. Plus Sampson just deserves a win, it will be sad if he retires without ever getting the ring. Like our volleyball coach who was here for 30 odd years and could never get over that hump. Always good, but never had it all line up. 

[u/Acsteffy]

Thats pretty good

[u/Briggity_Brak]

knew it was gonna be a good day, damn.

[u/simonthecat33]

RESPECT! There’s Curry, Clark, and now… Golden.

[u/LoveisBaconisLove]

Love seeing these kids react like that. And that’s what they are: kids. Love to see them having fun.

[u/grind_or_starve]

Im from Kentucky, but damn this was impressive. Coach Pope, you are up!!

[u/cst-rdt → u/grind_or_starve]

I'm evidently quite stupid because I read this the first three times as Coach Pop and immediately tried to figure out when Gregg Popovich became entangled with Kentucky basketball.

[u/grind_or_starve → u/cst-rdt]

Had me thinking I forgot the E. I had to read it three times to.

[u/the615Butcher]

ITT bunch of hatin ass bitches.

[u/Gator1508 → u/the615Butcher]

Many of these haters will never see their team win one championship let alone three in their lifetime.  Let them eat hate.

[u/Jealous-Mushroom-858 → u/Gator1508]

The list in the 21st century is just UF, UCONN, Duke, and Nova

Kentucky is sitting at 1 and the rest of the SEC is bringing up the rear with 0

[u/rialcnis → u/[deleted]]

Imagine if Hurley had this accuracy for finding people to blame for his own shortcomings

[u/Cranjis_McFootball → u/[deleted]]

UConn fans seem particularly insistent on making assumptions here lol I wonder why. 2 nattys in the last 3 years and you’re still salty?

[u/Mike_with_Wings → u/[deleted]]

Y’all are still so angry lol

[u/Dry-Cartographer5600 → u/Mike_with_Wings]

Nah, that’s a funny on point comment.

[u/Mike_with_Wings → u/Dry-Cartographer5600]

Even in the context of a Todd Golden joke, it’s not funny or on point. I’ve heard better

[u/Dry-Cartographer5600 → u/Mike_with_Wings]

Please share!

These are funny jokes.

[u/HumbleCountryLawyer → u/Dry-Cartographer5600]

It has potential. You cut out “stalk, harass, and” and it’s a solid joke. It’s too wordy and comes off like you’re trying to convince me he’s a bad guy with the inclusion.

[u/DoggedDoggystyle → u/[deleted]]

Third party investigative firm confirmed no wrongdoing. But don’t take no investigation to find Hurley’s vulva

[u/DealerNo4908 → u/DoggedDoggystyle]

No. It. Did. Not. All it confirmed was that it didn’t happen “within a university program or activity.”

[u/Katany_999 → u/[deleted]]

Made him cry like a little bitch 🤣🤣

[u/RoyalMagiSwag → u/Katany_999]

I mean it's not hard to make Hurley cry

[u/Accomplished_Age2911 → u/RoyalMagiSwag]

Unless you’re Purdue. Because they get blown out in the national championship and Danny is a happy boy!

[u/954gator → u/Katany_999]

Why are UCONN fans so salty lmao? They lost one damn tournament game in 3 years SMH. They have like double the natty's of anyone else this century and yet they still won't let it go.

[u/smokeypapabear40206 → u/954gator]

“New Money”… They don’t know how to act yet.

[u/BamaX19 → u/954gator]

Get used to it. We still have Purdue fans talking shit in any positive thread about us. All because we got the #1 seed over them that year lmao. They beat us and still are salty.

[u/Dry-Cartographer5600 → u/954gator]

The comment was actually pretty clever. The UConn flair is just coincidence.

[u/954gator → u/Dry-Cartographer5600]

Yeah but I've been seeing a ton of UCONN hate on reddit and Youtube comments. There's like 1 or 2 guys that have commented on EVERY Florida ncaa tournament recap or highlight video, even individual player highlights. Like, thats crazy levels of bitterness.

[u/Dry-Cartographer5600 → u/954gator]

Welcome to winning the natty? It comes with the territory.

[u/Katany_999 → u/[deleted]]

He owns your coach

[u/Marlen86 → u/[deleted]]

Watch who you say that to. You’re talking about the best fucking coach in the sport!

[u/Specialist_Site4945]

He does give off a little creepy vibes

[u/AntiDECA → u/Specialist_Site4945]

After the championship he was wearing a backwards baseball cap in the celebration and 100% looks like the old creepy guy hanging around at the frat house lol.

[u/4r4r4real → u/AntiDECA]

He just turned 40. 40 isn't old! 40 isn't old. I'm gonna keep repeating this to myself. 

[u/ender52 → u/4r4r4real]

Definitely not old at all. Nope. In the prime of my life.

Why do my knees hurt all the time?

[u/mr_SM1TTY → u/AntiDECA]

More likely to be creeping around a sorority house.

[u/auaubie]

Fucking creeper!!!

[u/Live-Second-4652]

The ass pat from grey shirt was fantastic. You know Coach was expecting one

[u/yeezusosa]

That’s my coach

[u/RyofDoom2]

Coach bout subbed himself in

[u/battlevac]

Hunting down good shots. A stalker of sorts

[u/Medicmanii]

And stalked 6 coeds

[u/ThisDadisFoReal]

So did he try for a 5th?!?

[u/grasshopper7167]

Some guys have it all

[u/AurorasNebulas]

The ‘fuck outta here’ and ‘what the fuck’ while the ball is in the air on #4 are so good

[u/goldenface4114]

Best coach in the fucking sport.

I always love the downvotes I get from the UConn bros when I post that. 🤣

[u/Knook7 → u/goldenface4114]

Uconn fans in this thread are being quite the whiners, lol

[u/goldenface4114 → u/Knook7]

It’s what they do, and they’re good at it.

[u/propervinegarsauce]

Does he practice this while stalking women?

[u/RollWave1989]

Word, I hear you, and I thought it was funny. I just had to put it out there that I don’t condone his shit because the comment was blowing up.

Love it! Shit, coach can put it in from anywhere, so can we. Let's go win.

[u/Groundhog_fog]

Mens sports are such an expression of our gay tendencies while justifying it as straight and tough

[u/Cranjis_McFootball → u/Groundhog_fog]

Put the fries in the bag bro

[u/mayo_man12 → u/Groundhog_fog]

it’s more likely an expression of primally instilled competition than wtv the hell you just said lol. i’m not gonna act like the liver king over here, but sports in general (football in particular) are the closest things to primal caveman shit we have today. it’s why when a group of guys are trying to win a championship, they don’t see it as a fun game that they’re playing where they just dribble the ball and shoot it into a hoop (which is in principle what it is), they see it as life and death battle on the court. it’s almost natural to take sports so seriously, and that’s because it literally is.

[u/VulgarVerbiage → u/mayo_man12]

That sounds gayer than what the other guy said.

[u/Groundhog_fog → u/mayo_man12]

Both can be true. It's the only acceptable place in much of our culture for men to touch each other. Slap ass on a basketball court, it's normal... Two men grinding is accepted if it's in the low post... I'm for it. Men need to touch each other more.

[u/Just_One_Victory → u/mayo_man12]

And in the process, get naked together a lot and touch each others’ butts

[u/eicoeico]

Do it in a game .. geesh.

Frat boy

[u/RugratsThemeSong]

…Still losing to UofA on November 3rd. BTFD 🐻⬇️

[u/DoggedDoggystyle → u/RugratsThemeSong]

Gonna be hard to shoot with the big ass rings on their fingers so yeah maybe

[u/RugratsThemeSong → u/DoggedDoggystyle]

Damn that’s a witty reply, just tryna rile up some preseason hype . With that said, do you remember where you were December 15th, 2012 in case you don’t

[u/ImRonBurgundy__ → u/RugratsThemeSong]

I’m not a gator fan at all but it’s not the flex you think it is to boast about a meaningless December non conference game from 13 years ago in a thread about a team that just won the natty

[u/954gator → u/ImRonBurgundy__]

Game was sketch too lmao. They had more FT's probably in the last couple minutes than Florida had the whole game lmao.

That being said it was the same in reverse the year before. Florida had way more FT attempts than Zona. I don't get why games can't just be called evenly.

[u/RugratsThemeSong → u/ImRonBurgundy__]

Flair up then coward.

[u/Jealous-Mushroom-858 → u/RugratsThemeSong]

Didn’t Florida make the elite 8 that year and you guys finished sweet 16? We finished higher ranked than you in both the AP and Coaches polls

Then the next year we had the greatest regular season in UF history and we made the final four

I think we’ll take a non conference loss. Gator fans would enjoy rewatching that game simply to see Scottie and big Pat together again. No one said they didn’t lose some games.

We comin for yall next year. Be ready

[u/auaubie]

I cant stand that number 10 creep, he is almost a bigger creep than the pervert Golden!

[u/Knook7 → u/auaubie]

Huh? Are you just randomly accusing Haugh of being a creep

[u/Itsalwaysblu3]

I call bullshit.

[u/Jealous-Mushroom-858 → u/Itsalwaysblu3]

Well there is zero evidence to justify it being bullshit so history will record it as true

It was a longer competition where everyone was shooting from half court. That’s why the vid is cut up
