Goddamn BamaBraves getting absolutely dragged in this thread by AUUSCgrad. Lots of points being intentionally ignored: Oats under performing last year despite the easy path. Oats having incredibly easy paths in the tournament this year, last year, and COVID year. Pearl is the driving reason Avery was fired and Oats was hired. Oats Covid year success where there were no true road games and players were opting out or being held out left and right. Bruce’s 2019-2020 team was playing its best ball going into March and gearing up to make a run in the SEC tourney and big dance before the postseason was canceled. But keep hammering the 5-6 year semantics like it’s such a super serious point.

lol…that’s a whole lot of words to admit in your last statement that Oats has been a better coach than Bruce since he arrived at Bama. It pains you guys so much, you write paragraph after paragraph trying to make it not true, half of which is factually incorrect (btw, you guys probably don’t even recognize that you’ve literally argued that Bama is a materially better overall program than AU in trying to prop up Bruce.)

If you guys are so confident in Bruce as a coach, how about we do a 1 yr SECRant self ban on who has the most NCAAT success in the next 3 seasons between Oats and Bruce? It would give somebody a good rest from April 2027 to April 2028. If not, you should ask yourself why you’re spending page after page defending Bruce when you clearly don’t think he’s on par.
