The rest of college basketball isn’t worried about Avery Johnson yet.
But Billy Kennedy is.
He’s said so privately, though his concerns seem far-fetched. Even if Texas A&M’s prized recruits want to follow Johnson to Alabama, would they sacrifice a year to do so?
Still, Kennedy knows how influential Johnson can be, and he knows his nature. He knows what the Spurs know, that AJ can project a wholesome, upbeat image while getting things done behind the scenes with an edge.
