Korey McCray, Assistant Coach at the University of Florida and a key contributor to the Gators' National Championship-winning program, joins the Basketball Podcast to discuss Florida's philosophy of playing fast with purpose, using analytics to shape decision-making, and building a team around discipline, toughness, and high-IQ basketball.
McCray breaks down how Florida uses multiple bigs to create spacing and dominate the offensive glass, the defensive principles behind taking calculated risks, the practice habits that fueled a championship run, and the "hustle stats" accountability system that measures winning beyond the box score. He also shares his "faith over fear" approach to player development, leadership, confidence building, and creating meaningful relationships with athletes.
