Fans that can't support the players don't deserve a winning team or good players.
Saban believes that fans have a big impact on recruiting, on the games and on the overall health of a program. He has said this repeatedly since day one. I guess some "Bama bball fans" know better. Wimp never stopped saying the same while he was Bama's coach.
Right now, we have an inept coach and an AD who doesn't care, and just wants us to swallow it. I guess my question is: in what other way can a fanbase show that it isn't satisfied? Clearly the answer isn't to buy more season tickets, $6 cokes in leftover football souvenir cups and $8 chicken fingers while we watch the program take more and more steps backwards.

Saying players who don't win don't deserve support is ignorant and childish. They are playing their best that they are taught. Sure it is frustrating to see the wY we lose some games but taking it out on the teams at UA is not the answer IMO

I can't agree with this until after he doesn't fire Grant this year. Even then he may still care but just not be qualified or misguided. Not many ADs in the country would have done any differently than Battle did after the previous season.

Buying season tickets or single tix, filling up Coleman is the absolute answer to becoming a great program. It's all part of "the process", that some may be familiar with.
What selling out Coleman does:
- energizes the players, which results in more wins.
- Helps recruiting
- Shows the AD/players/prospects that Bama fans do care about basketball.
I've already noted Saban and Wimp, but every great coached has told anyone who would listen how important butts in the seats are. Not sure why so many people overlook the "responsibility" of the fan to help a program when all the great minds in their respective sports state the importance.
If Coleman sold out every game this year, but miraculously had the same bad results or even worse. Does that mean the few people with influence would be happy with Grant, simply because the place is packed, no. They want a winning team and great coach, they don't donate etc. based on attendance.
Shula still played for a full house, a change was still made. Wins matter, not attendance.
