Not saying it means a damn thing...(basketball thread)

"He's a Booger Bear"

Grant was a good hire at the time.

Wimp calls every one tough, like a very good opposing player a "booger bear".
Ex:
"Coach, what do you think about Zion Williamson and his game?"
"Great player, plays with intensity. He's a booger bear."

Based on what? That Florida wanted him?

Grant was an awful hire from day one.

Yeah, that is revisionist history. Most everyone was excited about the Grant hire, and many college basketball experts raved about it.

I think its the finances that keeps him around next year smh

Posted in the main thread, but there is a random guy on Twitter(who knows how connected or who he knows) that is claiming Steve Prohm will be hired once both UA and IA St. seasons are over.

Wimp and Avery Johnson get a long pretty well. That is per Wimp.

I started going to Bama football games in the early 60s’. I say that to say I was of an age to remember the Whimp era. I went to a good many home games when he was our coach. They had Whimp Alike night where everyone got a mask with Whimps pic on it. I still have mine.
What I am about to say may sound like something I’m making up but if you asked anyone else who kept up with the team and program might agree.
Whimp was loved by the basketball fans. To the point he was even or slightly ahead of the football program. This was after the Bryant years .When his problem with his secretary became public knowledge he was let go.
The problem could have been handled in a way that he would not have been forced out.
Placed on leave until the legal problem were settled.
I will always believe if handled differently a way could have been made that he would have been our coach for another 20 years and the program would be in much better shape.
