I would love to see the basketball team win at lease one national title in my lifetime.
The state has great basketball talent so I think it is possible.

State talent is hit or miss. We need someone with connections.

I would like to see a discussion on how to revitalize instate development. Should we get rid of AAU as Kobe hint? Take an approach to basketball the way the Dutch take to soccer? Maybe all schools should run the same offense (which one is the best) and over time select the best talent and have them developed by elite coaches.

Spain is great at developing bball talent.

Let's get to a Final Four before we worry about winning it all. I think the right guy could do it. Wimp should have gotten us there with his last team but he had horrible tourney luck.

Yeah, I don't about "championship level" in terms of one loaded top 10 class after another.

However, there's no reason that Alabama can't be consistently in the tourney at least 75% of the time and have a legitimate Top 20 team/ high NCAA seed every few seasons.

If you do that, almost any year can produce a great tourney run.

Butler made it to the finals and was a bad bounce off the iron away from winning it all.


Nobody knew who butler was 20 years ago. Yes. We can get there if we spend the money and hire the right guy

The Alabama team Billy Donovan and Providence beat was much better than the one South Alabama beat.

And that team that lost to Loyola Marymount was pretty good, but would have had a tough game against UNLV had they gotten by LM.

We are allowed to recruit in Indiana.

Their starting point guard that year was from Homewood.
