The Future of Alabama Basketball and Anthony Grant

BamaMike05 · Mar 9, 2014

I think yesterday proved that we need to be playing an uptempo style of play. I don't know who convinced CAG to take the reigns off of the boys and let them play, but we look like a very dangerous team going into the tournament.

The only issue is we don't get to play the SEC tournament in Coleman Coliseum.

I would feel even better if yesterday was a road win.

I noticed a bit of a change after Nick Jacobs has been temporarily gone from the team.

I don't know any of the story behind that, but I will agree that Taylor and Engstrom both have been absolutely busting their butts the past few games. The difference in their effort is easily noticeable.

Maybe Mrs. Grant said, "Hey, I kind of like living in this house. Now get off that slow tempo stuff".

SOMETHING has happened. Grant and staff have heard something to make them change philosophy.

Watched the Replay. I have to say that I didn't see a change in how we attack in the half-court offense, with the exception that people are actually shooting the open shot and we were making it. Most of our fastbreak points came off of really good defense and the secondary break. Looks the same to me except we executed.

Saturday made Scarbinsky feel good about Bama and Grant.

Call me crazy. Tell me this was just one spectacular Senior Day for Trevor Releford and friends in Coleman Coliseum. Remind me that Arkansas's not good on the road and Alabama's not bad at home.

All true.

So why did Alabama 83, Arkansas 58 feel like the beginning and not the end? For Alabama coach Anthony Grant and his team.

It is a smokescreen to make Auburn and Barbee look good. Scab' does nothing that isn't motivated by his love of the boogs.

Don't know why you put that in blue when it's true...

No kidding. Scarb is probably trying to convince the PTB at Alabama to make sure they keep CAG (as if he has any influence at all) to make sure that we don't get a better coach than the cow college does should we decide to make a change. Although at this point I don't think we will unless we tank Thursday night.

Idk..when's the last time we played two good games in a row?

Come to think of it, you are right. Scab' does love him some Aubie. I wonder if they have pictures or he is just that ignorant.

CAG will be here next year unless he decides it is time to look elsewhere.

When will somebody speak about the future of Bama Basketball?

Will Grant get the dreaded "vote of confidence" from Battle or will anything at all be said???

Coach Grant, barring something unforeseen, will be back next year. After that, I believe, will be determined by how he does next season. I don't have any inside information, just going by what this entire thread has written and re-written.

If CAG is still here after tonight, I think we really need to look at the flow of our offense and form some sort of identity. I really believe we can become more of an inside-out offense if our big men do some work over the summer. On defense we really need to get back some intensity. We also need to develop some intelligence on both sides of the ball.

Yes, what I've gathered too.

I'm just finding it hard to be excited and optimistic that we'll suddenly turn the corner next year.

I really think some of our defensive intensity was lost at the beginning of the year when Releford was in constant foul trouble. That combined with the new foul rules we could not aggressively guard the ball, which will make it really tough for CAG teams going forward.
