Should Bama fans accept mediocrity in basketball?

Just curious what those outside of the program think about it. Should we just accept that we are a middle tier team and be happy with high seed NIT bids? Should we fire Grant? Can Bama realistically attract a better coach than Grant?

What in bama's history says they are above mediocrity and should be "settling"?
Have they ever been able to attract a better coach or have they always took a gamble with the up and comer?

Bama is mediocre in basketball now? Hunh, I thought you guys were just terrible like the rest of us. But, in answer to your question, Bama is happily mediocre because your fans don't care enough for you to be anything better.
Get some of those deep pocket boosters that flock to the football team to start splashing a little cash on the basketball program and you will get better coaches, who will get better players, who will get you a shot at being a basketball powerhouse.

Shut down basketball, turn gym into hockey rink

How much support do Bama students and fans give the basketball program?
Auburn went out and got Bruce Pearl, but the upper deck of the arena is still mostly empty. Makes me think Auburn will never get over the hump of being a bad basketball program.

Auburn sold out season tickets for basketball. Of course, some of those people might not show up for every game

What would be the purpose of having the basketball program then if we were going to do that? In Grant's first 3 years, Coleman was mostly sold out all the time and the team was competitive. Hell we went undefeated in Coleman in his 2nd year. People are tired of being let down. Fire Grant, get a fricking coach who can sell the program better and produce some quality wins. Talent is there, the coaching is not.

Alabama basketball has never sold out for most non conference games. Not even when Wimp Sanderson was the coach

We are behind Kentucky only in SEC winning %, so hell no we shouldn't accept mediocrity.

It takes time to build it. The product isn't great at the moment. Last night's win will build some excitement. Plus it's Christmas and the students aren't there. Plus season tickets are sold out. So suck on that one.

Congrats on being distant second in a one team league.
That is mediocrity.

A school in the state of Alabama is never going to fill every seat for non conference basketball games against directional type of schools. I don't care who the coach is. This goes for both Auburn and Alabama

Grasping at straws and stuff.

You have what?
Ms. State is far from Mediocrity, currently.
Mississippi State's last 5 games:
TCU 61, Miss State 52
Tulane 59, Miss State 54
Oregon State 59, Miss State 49
Arkansas State 69, Miss State 55
USC Upstate 53, Miss State 51

Meh. The support is meh. When our team is good we show up. When we suck arse and are forced to watch horrible offenses year after year we don't go. We are probably right there with most SEC teams not named Kentucky Florida or Arkansas.

Absolutely blows in general. Even if Alabama was good, I still wouldn't watch it because I hate basketball. I'd support them sure, but I just couldn't care less. Probably cause of people like me why our basketball program hasn't gone anywhere.
