Gator Tales #295: MBK Asst Coach Erik Pastrana and Gator Roundtable (MBK, FB, Gym, WBK)

Mike White’s team entered this week badly needing to get off the deck in the SEC, and they did just that, getting their first conference win at South Carolina, then returning home and completing a double-digit comeback against Mississippi State. On today’s show, we’ll welcome FloridaGators.com senior writers Chris Harry and Scott Carter to discuss men’s basketball’s big week, “Phase One” getting underway for football, a historic meet for gymnastics, women’s basketball’s continued resiliency and the often surprising impact of celebrity deaths in the PAT (1:43). Then, men’s basketball assistant coach Erik Pastrana joins us to share how a kid from Miami found his calling in coaching and the path he hopes to pave for more Latino representation on the sidelines (34:12).
