GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — After four “challenging” days, Florida basketball coach Todd Golden welcomed the reception he got when he took the court Monday night.
Golden received a rousing ovation, one of the loudest of the night, during pregame introductions before the 20th-ranked Gators beat Grambling State 86-62.
“I thought it was great," Golden said. "I thought (fans) were as usual, and obviously during the current circumstances, I appreciate it.”
It was Golden’s first public appearance since he acknowledged an ongoing school inquiry into sexual harassment and stalking allegations. Golden previously said he is considering “defamation claims," presumably against his accusers.
