The Florida Gators experienced an incredible amount of success on the basketball court when they won back-to-back championships in 2006 and 2007 under the leadership of head coach Billy Donovan. The key to winning the two championships was having a collection of players that were not only talented, but unselfish as well, putting the team above themselves; playing well together and playing to win, as opposed to playing to boost their own stats or for their own glory.
