to back-to-back national championships. During his tenure, Florida won seventy-one percent of its games and established a standard for Florida athletics.
"I’ll tell you what, it was awesome to have Billy Donovan here the other day to speak with the team,” Napier said. “I think a once in a lifetime opportunity for our players and staff to listen to a guy who’s got tremendous experience in general, right, but obviously 19 years at the University of Florida and accomplished some really significant things."
“And one of the things that he really emphasized was that adversity is our greatest gift. The harder the better, you know, and I think throughout the offseason, you kind of embrace that,” said Napier. “You have to use that as a way to grow, to improve. I was really interested in how he talked about choice, right, we have this illusion of choice at this level of competition in our conference, and he said in the NBA, there’s this illusion of choice.“.
