The Gators Glossary: Explaining the terms of endearment for Florida basketball in 2013-14

For reference purposes.

Nicknames for Scottie Wilbekin. Derived from Wilbekin's penchant for hitting big shots. Originator and origins unclear.

Billyball

Nickname for style of play used by Florida around turn of the 21st century, with heavy emphasis on pace, threes, and pressing. Less germane to current team, given more deliberate and efficient offense and grinding halfcourt defense.

Billy the Kid

Nickname for Billy Donovan, Florida coach. Despite being 48 and the dean of SEC coaches — as every SEC broadcast mentioned, seemingly — Donovan still gets called his old nickname from time to time.

Doe-Doe

Catch-all saying describing Florida basketball derived from tradition in the O'Connell Center: When possession is awarded to the Gators, public address announcer says "Florida basketball..." and crowd (especially students) responds with "FAN-TASTIC!"

_______ FORRR THREEEEEE!

Saying describing threes made by Gators. Derived from tradition in the O'Connell Center: When a three is made, public address announcer says "(name of player) FORRR THREEEEEEE!" and crowd (especially students) bows arms in time with "FORRR THREEEEEEE!"

Gator Boyz

Nickname for Florida basketball players. Derived from Joakim Noah's pronouncement that "The Gator Boyz are hot right now" after the 2006 NCAA Tournament final, which lent its name to Florida's official 2005-06 season highlights DVD. Still used by Noah. Sometimes stylized as GatorBoyz, Gator Boys.

Catch-all term for befuddling tendency to get things wrong about, discredit, or overlook this Florida team.

Nickname for rebounds fetched by Prather, especially the one he grabbed between three Kentucky players. Derived from Prather's nickname and Beyoncé's use of "surfboard" in "Drunk in Love."

#NBAThrees

Catch-all hashtag referring to threes taken and made against Florida from NBA distance. Holdover from 2012-13, when long threes seemed to beat Florida with regularity. Less useful in 2013-14, as Florida has beaten everyone with regularity.
