Oats: I rarely start the five best players. You've got to have punch off the bench, there's chemistry involved.
On the ACC's idea to let everyone in the NCAA Tournament: "I think it's ridiculous."
On Petty's return: "His goal is to play his way into the first round. ... We're going to do everything we can to help him."
Oats said he has no idea what fan capacity might look like. He thinks local guidelines and conference guidelines will determine that. "But I would love for as many Alabama fans to be in there that we can get in there, but again that's out of my hands."
Oats said Alabama doesn't have confirmation from the SEC on what the non-conference schedule can look like. He said he hopes the Maui Invitational isn't the first games of the season. He would prefer to get one in before that.
Oats said depth will be more important than ever this season with COVID. He added Alabama needed depth last year and didn't have it. Followed by this quote:
"I think we should be competing for championships. SEC championships, Tournament championships."
