If this type of play and effort continues, it won't be long until he writes the "Does Alabama Have the Best Basketball Coach It Could Have?" column.....

We have great kids, but no leadership. No one including the coach holds the kids accountable. The scuttlebutt in T-town is mama isn't happy with AJjr's playing time. I am also hearing she is not happy here in Tuscaloosa. It is too small for her taste. TIFWIW.
Heard the same about mama not enjoying Tuscaloosa a few years back.
Someone earlier mentioned that players might be realizing they aren’t NBA caliber. That’s not really true. Herbert and Donta were both on mock drafts going into this season.
Plus, they can look at guys like Retin and Levi Randolph to see how to make it.

Then someone needs to tell Mama her son would never see the court at any other SEC school. This kind of garbage drives me nuts.
Did you read my post? They were mock drafter prior to the season, so they were based on improvement from last year. Something Herbert has not had.

No player on this roster except Lewis will sniff the NBA. They are delusional if any of the others think they will play at that level.
I read your post. I laughed last year when many were talking about Herb Jones NBA upside. Just comical.
What makes you so knowledgeable about this compared to the NBA scouts saying otherwise?

Oh boy- here we go. Ask any NBA scout what they think of Herb Jones today. Bet you get another answer.To answer your question- 2 eyes and over 40 years of watching college basketball.
Yes, today they probably say something completely different, but you said you laughed when scouts mentioned it last year.

There are two ways to Coach. Be a control freak OR be a “players” coach. Afraid we have neither.
Cecil doesn't write this sort of column lightly. Altruistically, he knows he's a thought leader for the fanbase, and to his credit, he doesn't abuse his bully pulpit. Selfishly, he wants to keep his bona fides and resulting unique access within the Athletic Department.
Point being, for it to get this far, he doesn't think he has a choice. He simply can't maintain journalistic credibility and at the same time ignore the elephant in the room.
Over the last 20 years or so, I've seen fewer than a half-dozen of Cecil's columns similar to this one. Hobbs, Gottfried, Grant, Dubose, Shula. Common threads being (1) Cecil held off as long as he possibly could before publishing, and (2) not a single coach survived.

Not that I disagree, but wasn't Petty thought of pretty highly coming out of high school?
