I’ve just begun to like basketball. Yes, I’m here because of the success Alabama Basketball has had the last 3 years. I admit that if Alabama Basketball become mediocre I will loose interest. So, If you are hard core basketball then you can stop reading my opinion at this point.
It’s no doubt that Nate Oats has brought excitement to the program. He has some core beliefs on how the game should be played. Let’s dive into what separates Nick Saban & Coach Bryant to make both the goats of their time. Both were able to change, evolve with the game. Both brought in assistance coaches with different ideals. I hope this young coach isn’t so stuck on percentages that he will continue to not allow his players to shoot a mid-range for example. Playing top teams in the non conference season will expose him to different ideals. I just hope he is open enough to learn and like the goat next door, evolve.
