Gators struggling from 3-point line in Donovan’s 14 seasons in Gainesville. “This has been a little bit different for me as a coach since I’ve been here because we’ve always been one of the better 3-point shooting teams,” Donovan said Thursday. “We have good shooters. I think we have good enough shooters that those guys certainly can shoot a better percentage. “As a coach, if we all had the answers as to how to put the ball in the hole for guys, it would make things a lot easier. But I do think it’s important that I continue to give them confidence.” Donovan’s players insist they still have confidence. But how long can it last, especially if they keep missing like this?
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida coach Billy Donovan has never had a team shoot 3-pointers like this. Long, short, left, right, early, late, the Gators have missed every way possible this season. On the road, at home, during the day, at night, it has happened everywhere. Guards, forwards, freshmen, seniors, it has affected everyone. Florida has been in a season-long slump, a huge concern heading into its Southeastern Conference opener at Vanderbilt on Saturday. The Gators (11-3) are shooting 29.3 percent from behind the arc. It’s the worst percentage in the SEC, ranks 260th out of 271 Division I teams and is on pace to be the worst
Since hitting 12 of 20 against Jacksonville early last month, the Gators have made 33 of 126 (26.1 percent) from behind the arc. Senior Dan Werner has missed his last 15 3-pointers. Erving Walker, the scrappy point guard who shot 42 percent from 3-point range as a freshman last year, has missed 21 of his last 26 from that distance and fallen to 29 percent this season. “Players go through it some time in their career,” Walker said. “This is one of the first times for me.” He’s hardly alone. Talented freshman Kenny Boynton, considered one of the nation’s top recruits because of his ability to score from anywhere on the floor, has made just 26 of 102 (25.5
percent) shots from 3-point land. Chandler Parsons has been the lone bright spot. After shooting just 31 percent from behind the arc his first two seasons, Parsons leads the team at 38.8 percent. He swished a 75-footer at the buzzer in overtime to beat North Carolina State last weekend. Before that, though, he had missed 11 of his previous 15 3s. “We haven’t been shooting the ball as well as we’d like to, but we’ve got a whole bunch of confident guys,” Parsons said. “A little surprised, because if you come in here and watch practice, guys are making shots all day. It’s not like it’s not going to come around.”

Troubled former NBA player hospitalized after DWI NEW YORK (AP) — Former NBA star Jayson Williams apologized to police for “causing trouble” about 90 minutes after swerving into oncoming traffic and crashing his SUV into a tree, prosecutors said Thursday at the beleaguered ex-player’s arraignment on drunken driving charges. Wearing a neck brace and a bandage above his right eye, Williams appeared at the proceeding for a DWI charge via video link from Bellevue Hospital, where he is being treated for a minor bone fracture in his neck and cuts to his face. His bail was set at $10,000, and he will have to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet if released. It wasn’t immediately clear
when that might happen; authorities said they were unsure Thursday evening whether Williams had posted bail. The case marks the latest in a series of legal and personal problems for Williams, who is awaiting retrial on a manslaughter charge in New Jersey. Williams’ black MercedesBenz SUV veered across four lanes of oncoming traffic before slamming into a tree at an exit from FDR Drive in Manhattan around 3:15 a.m. Tuesday, according to a court complaint. He was found bleeding from the face and his breath smelled strongly of alcohol, the complaint said. Police said Williams was alone in the passenger seat when officers arrived. He ini-
tially told them the driver left the scene, Assistant District Attorney William Beesch said. A witness told police no one else had gotten in or out of the car. Beesch argued that significant bail and electronic monitoring were needed because Williams has “a history of extreme behavior while he has been intoxicated.” He pointed WILLIAMS to episodes including the manslaughter case, which stems from a 2002 shooting at Williams’ house. Defense lawyer Linda Kenney Baden called the comment inappropri-
ate. Kenney Baden told state Supreme Court Justice Melissa Jackson that Williams has appeared reliably for other court dates. Given his injuries, “he simply is not going anywhere,” said Kenney Baden, a prominent defense lawyer whose clients have included music producer Phil Spector and Casey Anthony, a Florida woman charged in the death of her daughter. Williams is due back in a Manhattan court March 3. Williams, 41, retired from the New Jersey Nets in 2000 after breaking his leg a year earlier. He was in the second year of a six-year, $86 million contract. He became an NBA analyst for NBC but was suspended
after the 2002 shooting, which killed a hired driver. At Williams’ 2004 trial, witnesses testified that he had been drinking and was showing off a shotgun in his bedroom when he snapped the weapon shut and it fired one shot that hit the driver, Costas Christofi, in the chest. They also testified that Williams initially put the gun in the dead man’s hands and told witnesses to lie about what happened. The defense maintained the shooting was an accident and that Williams panicked afterward. He was acquitted of more serious charges, but a jury deadlocked on a reckless manslaughter count. He is awaiting a retrial on that count.
