Nate Oats and Alabama

[Fly Rodder]

That's a great video, smart coaching. Who woulda thunk ...

I like watching them with 3s and and transition layups. It's attractive basketball. Likewise, while I respect for Tony Bennet I have no desire to watch his brand of cement-shoed basketball.

Great video. Just watched. A full fledged system based off of true data instead of just “they made shots” data. So much easier to recruit guys too when it’s so cut and dry what you do as a whole. Bama will continue to throw the bank at him and he deserves it

'Bama bball was a sleeping giant thanks to the very real halo effect from football. They just needed a good coach. They're going to be very good and reeling in high-end talent w/ ease as long as Oates is there, which I think is a long time.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

He aint coming here. He can already assemble enough talent to win a national title there.

Only scenario he comes here is if his performance falls off and his seat gets hot and he needs a soft landing spot and the years would need to align. Kinda like what I could see happening with Calipari and Texas.

So you’re saying he’s not old enough to coach at SU yet? Seems about right. Precedent has been set.

 

[hoopsupstate]

So Justin Taylor averages more mid range jumpers per game than the entire Alabama team? Lol. Not throwing shade at Justin but seems like he loves those 2 feet inside the arc shots.

Justin is getting better, but early in the season he wouldn’t even take a shot unless he was wide open. He’s learning to step into shots quicker.

Long twos are stupid, no matter who is taking them.

Easy. I’ll take the shot that’s open.

 

[two3zone]

Easy. I’ll take the shot that’s open.

If the only open shot you can find in 30 seconds is a long two, may want to work on the offense.

Oh, we don’t use a shot clock.

It is both absolutely wild and not surprising in the slightest that Miller isn’t in any trouble

[M2MPrinciples]

Yeah, I'm cool with crossing Nate Oats off my list of potential JB successors after this. Dude is a chump.

Yeah Nate you can't control what Miller does outside of practice, but you can control how you react to it and I'm not at all impressed with "Wrong spot at the wrong time."

They don't have rules in the SEC.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Oye that guy is projected to be a top 5 pick in the draft…

 

[two3zone]

Ahhhhh, Mike Waters throwing haymakers while always throwing puff pieces around where he reports.

 

[Wrinkle]

There's something about the name Darius Miles

 

[UpstateSM]

Dude brought the murder weapon to the scene and had bullets go through the windshield of his car but he will play the rest of the season like nothing happened.

SEC: It Just Means More

 

[UpstateSM]

Anyone have any Oats stories or anything from his time at UB?

A Bonaventure account I follow just tweeted that it wasn’t a secret in WNY what kind of guy he was while he was there.

When a Syracuse player is implicated in a murder this would be relevant. This should get a lot of attention in the CBB world. If this doesn't meet the standard for LOIC, then what are we doing here?

 

[NYCCuse826]

Alabama has a chance to win a title so this is being swept under the rug.

Well this has certainly taken a turn

FIFY

 

[DilemaCuse]

Now that there's a new twist to the story, I stand by my post on 2/2 that announcing a contract extension, 2 weeks after a player is charged with murder is questionable? poor timing? tone deaf? All of the above?
