Kirby Smart could probably do it with his 15-30 minutes of free time he has each week with as good or better results than the current dip shite has.

Because they have decided to put a bandaid on Coleman and spend on BDS. So you think they have a plan to build a new Arena?

Coleman is not terrible for a basketball venue. It sucks looking on the outside, but inside it's quite functional, plus it hold 15,000+ seats.
Most of those 15,000 seats are on the sidelines, whereas, many arenas, more than 50% are along the baseline or in the corner.

No, if I was going to do that it would be "we built a new Arena and hired Bruce Pearl" post.

Alabama bball will be fine with the right coach. UA is spending obscene amounts of money on campus upgrades and a new arena will happen sooner or later, if for no other reason than everything else has already been done.

Coleman is a shithole and I do not think there are any plans for new Arena anytime soon.


Duke plays in a upscale high school gym.

Outside of the upgraded lockerrooms and being big Rupp isn't all that nice either.

Are you trying to compare Bama BB to Duke or Ky ?

How dense.

He was using the comparison to show that if the most successful college basketball programs in the country don't play in expensive facilities, then it is not an excuse for us.

If you dont think Bama has the resources to hire a solid basketball coach and build a new coliseum you're delusional.

I didn't say they needed a big name coach, and they don't. Most fans will be happy just making the tournament with some frequency. That's not too much to ask for at a school with the resources Alabama has.

Grant was the hottest mid-major coach around when we hired him. Do I think the next hire will be as big of a splash, probably not.

Good question.

Dear Alabama athletic governance: When even THIS idiot can see the problem, isn't it time to finally address it?
