Typical Bama. Trying to hire a good basketball coach to distract everyone from talking about the Taylor arrest. Truly a hive of scoundrels and villains.

Alabama learned from the Saban hire how to get this deal done.

Update (summary) from Shannon Terry:
*** Bill Battle feels very good about his opportunity to ink Marshall.
*** Both parties were on the same page as of late yesterday afternoon.
*** Expect the courtship of Marshall to be completed today and Alabama remains in excellent shape to land his signature.
*** There are no more contractual points to work out.

Gregg Marshall always does this shite every off season. If he does go to Bama, I'm not sure how good he will be able to recruit, he is a bit of an a-hole and not much personality either. He kind of reminds me of someone like Petrino.

CBS take
quote:
Alabama athletic director Bill Battle will meet with Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall on Monday to discuss the Crimson Tide's opening, a source told CBSSports.com.
The meeting will take place in Wichita, the source said. CBSSports.com reported last week that Alabama's administration is determined, one way or another, to make a big hire to replace Anthony Grant in response to Auburn employing Bruce Pearl last March, and Marshall is essentially alone atop the wish-list.
Alabama cannot offer Marshall great basketball tradition, school officials understand. But one source said they plan to pitch "piles of money, an athletic department with a culture of winning and every resource he needs to compete with anybody on a national level."
It's possible football coach Nick Saban could eventually be involved in what will be high-profile recruitment. "Alabama is gonna go big," one source said.
The Tuscaloosa News is also reporting the meeting between Battle and Marshall. Sources have told CBSSports.com Alabama's offer will be in excess of $3 million per year and that the school could present a package approaching six years and $20-plus million.

this makes no sense for either party
Bama wasting money on a sport their fans don't care about,a nd they will never be that good at
This guy wasting his career to go coach a team that won't be the top team in their conference.
