NCAA Tournament 2000 - Florida playbook: Milling around Indy

Florida playbook: Milling around Indy
From Coach's Edge

The Florida Gators beat a No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 seed to earn a spot in the Final Four. The young and aggressive Gators mirror their young aggressive coach, Billy Donovan, and hope to start a tradition down in Gainesville. With an up-tempo, wide open style, the Gators come ready to play. Led by Regionial MVP Mike Miller, the Gators are looking to do more than just mill around in Indy.

ANIMATE THIS PLAY DIAGRAM WITH SHOCKWAVE
(A) The Gators spread the floor to give their athletes room to work. They use a lot of high screens looking to create a crease to attack the basket.
(B) Mike Miller (13) reverses with the dribble, trying to catch the defense off balance.

(C) With a spread floor in front of him, Miller (13) takes a strong drive toward the hoop.
(D) As he gets closer, he has his choice to shoot or to dish to either Udonis Haslem (50) opening up in the lane or Teddy Dupay (5) spotting up in the corner. Miller doesn't just mill around, he takes it all the way.
