"Last week while the Florida Gators were preparing for their trip to South Carolina, the Florida coaching staff stumbled on a quote from former Florida basketball player Joakim Noah.
He preached unselfishness as the key to the men’s basketball team winning back-to-back national titles during his time in Gainesville.
“One of the great things (Noah) said is that at Florida, the team that won its national championship was so unselfish,” Florida wide receiver coach Billy Gonzales said. “”Nobody worried about who was scoring or getting assists. Everybody went out and did their job, which made everybody successful.”
That’s the lesson the Florida coaches have been sending to their players. Every player has to buy in to make the team successful. It’s not important who gets the carries out of the backfield or who makes the receptions. The message from the coaching staff is all about whether they can put another check in the win column when the game is over."
