What makes you say that

I'm excited. Could end up being a huge hire. Can't wait for the press conference. Interested to see what he does with the staff and recruiting.

The only Spurs ring I wasn't watching live.

Listening to his career trajectory he has a lot of things to sell to kids. Started as a JUCO, went to a NAIA school, went to Southern and led the country in assists two years in a row, went undrafted, was a career journeyman, cut twice the Spurs, and ends with getting his jersey retired by the Spurs.
I'd strongly recommend the Jalen Rose video I posted. Very cool look in to him.

I really had no idea who Avery Johnson was before this coaching search. Watching the video with Rose, he seems like a really likable guy.

Is he a Nike man or reebok?

Apparently, TAMU can thank Avery Johnson for this Recruit. Top 2 TX recruit. Top 5 center. I'd take it.

@jeffborzello: Avery Johnson's son plays for Texas A&M and is very close with their incoming recruits. But they all signed and Bama/A&M are both in SEC.

@thelonghorns12: @jeffborzello Can they get out of their LOI. My understanding is most of those recruits signed because of his son.

@jeffborzello: @thelonghorns12 That's the big question -- and if they can, is A&M just going to let them walk to a league rival?

We are a Nike school. Not sure what his son's AAU team was though.

@AdiJoseph: Avery Johnson to Alabama makes so much sense. He'll be a much better college coach, as often is the case

"One of the only knocks on him is he hasn't coached in three years," Finebaum said. "Anthony Grant hasn't really coached much in the last three years either."
