Having a successful, competent coach with a compelling system will do that.Man, I am hooked on Bama Hoops.
So just an Elite Eight run then?A lot of buzz going on right now which is highly unusual this time of year with football just around the corner. Although I think the team will be improved I am not going to set expectations so high as to where I will end up disappointed.
Yeah, shooting quick and missing will give the other team a chance to build a bigger lead. Hopefully the outside shooting and free throw shooting percentages will improve along with a reduction in turnovers per possession.A lot of buzz going on right now which is highly unusual this time of year with football just around the corner.

Yea I hear you and that will be an issue during the transition of this program to the one Oats will build. He has built a program before although it be at the highschool level. He has a proven track record and all of us are seeing the buzz he has created for Tide Hoops in just a couple of months. Below is his philosophy in a nutshell from the coach himself taken out of the article I have also linked. This is going to be a full court show:Yeah, shooting quick and missing will give the other team a chance to build a bigger lead. Hopefully the outside shooting and free throw shooting percentages will improve along with a reduction in turnovers per possession.
Absolutely considering we made it only once in the CAJ 4-year tenure and once in the CAG 6-year tenure.If we make it to the tourney this first year I would say the hire will be overwhelmingly successful.
Once he gets his own players in I think we will be final 4. this year I expect us to make the dance.
Just like when CNS arrived, you quit seeing late game collapses, I believe the same will happen with CNO coached Bama teams. Terrible FT shooting is probably a thing of the past too.Well one thing I am impressed with he is building relationships and working like Saban , I expect a growing pains at the start time we get to SEC I think will bond together I just hope we dont collapse at the end.
I agree we need to tap the brakes a bit on Oates. A good hire, but let’s see what happens. The comments I am seeing remind me of the ones about Johnson. How did that work out for us?hoping fans dont get their hopes up to high..never ends well... lets get through a season and see what we have first.. looks good so far though
