The trolling is intense. But they'd be trolling just as hard, unless we hired Phil Jackson. If Marshall came, they'd say he isn't proven at a p5, and is a bad recruiter.
Avery is no doubt a gamble. But the rewards could be huge. But we are talking about a guy who won NBA coach of the year, and led the mavericks to a 67 win season. The guy knows basketball. And with him having full roster control and less egos than the NBA, it seems like he's better suited for college.
I basically have up on Bama basketball once they didn't fire Grant last season. It's hard to watch your favorite team play, when you kinda want them to lose. But my passion had been reignited with this hire. We could have went with a up and coming mid major coach, but that's really just as big of gamble. Avery will bring more attention and excitement to the Bama program than any coach we've had since I've been a basketball fan.

Avery just went thru the recruiting process with his son. Sure its on the other side of the process, but he's not new to it.
I say we don't tell him about college having a longer shot clock. Let him think it stays at 24 seconds. We'll never have a shot clock violation again.
I just cant wait to see us actually have an inbounds play with a chance to score off of it.
