My opinion of him is that he is a very good coach
I think he's a damn good coach. There's no one in the league I would rather have, other than Pearl. Oats did an outstanding job last year.
That having been said, ultimately this team's inconsistent play is on him. We have proven that on any given Saturday we can beat any team in the country. Whether it's lack of motivation when playing lesser teams, inconsistent effort, or whatever, that's on Oats to fgure out and fix. Great coaches do that.

Absolutely positively NO PEARL. So glad he is not our coach.

It's usually missing wide open shots and free throws.

Has nothing to do with who's the better coach just because they make it to the final four. Pearl ain't better than Oats. His team just got hot at the right time.

It doesn't take a good motivator to be ready to play teams that are considered great. That is why we get everyone's best suit when they play us in football. It takes a great motivator to get the team ready to play teams you should be able to easily beat. And those are the teams we are getting beat by. Iona, Memphis, Georgia, Missouri, Miss st were all uninspired performances because the team didn't take them seriously. Now if the issue is the players not taking them seriously or the coaches not taking them seriously, who knows. This team has played down to their perceived level of their opponents all year. One game is understandable, the second ok, but after that its on the coaches. Take Oats weiner out of your mouth.

Pearl is an outstanding basketball coach. Let’s not forget he’s in year seven or eight at Auburn. Granted AU was in worse shape than what Nate took over but still. It’s not an equal comparison right now.

Anybody that claims to be paying attention to the program and still chooses to compare Oates to Gottfried should probably never speak about basketball ever again.

I like Oats a lot, but he is still learning his craft and I'd be hesitant to label him as such today. He is a very strong coach and I am very excited about where he can take this team over the next several years.

Says the guy with one basketball post prior to this thread all season. Your post history shows that you are clearly a FOG and not a very intelligent one at that. You don't know shite about this team and you don't watch the games. So stfu and stick to football.

Lol!
Want to know how to know your right? When what you saying isn't disputed and they attack irrelevant stuff.
Well. You have the most posts regarding my posting history, so if anyone else has a problem I will direct them to you. I will also start posting every thought in my head to every forum because that apparently increases your IQ on the subject.

Pearl was 13/14 last year. Also had losing records his first two years at Auburn, whereas Oats made the Sweet 16 his second year. Absolutely give Pearl credit for the Final Four run (and this year!) but Oats is off to a stronger start. This is fun. Could be a return to the Wimp vs. Sonny days of the '80's when both teams were good.

Yes. That's the nature of the NCAA tournament. Look at UCLA last year, an 11th seed. Ususally, a top seed wins the thing, but crazy things happen in the tournament. Match ups, unexpected upsets (like Buffalo beating Arizona, Texas Arlington beating Texas, etc) happen all the time. Getting hot at the right time is how most all win.

I think it was 100% fair to question the coaching on this team. Results speak for themselves

Nate Oats and Will Wade are said to be among the four being considered other than Pearl. I can only do those jokes comfortably here. The rest of the Bama board hasn’t figured out that he isn’t any better than Avery Johnson yet, and, “if you see the orange on the rim shoot it!!!!” isn’t an offensive philosophy. I’ll give them a year to catch up and for it to hit them.
That put that kid's arse in the wind!
You'll have to go to tRant for a while now to catch his act!

Nate Oats is a good coach. But he's not a magician. He's assembled this team that has played and won against 3 of last year's FINAL FOUR including the defending national champion, all of whom have played quite well this season and have been/are top 5 teams.
But they've also had some horrendous upset losses including that debacle at UGA which was historically bad. What an indictment of this team's mentality. Oats can scream, yell, curse, coax, baby, coddle, plead, and sit players but at the end of the day, motivation has to come from WITHIN! You have to have the pride and initiative to take responsibility for your effort because it reflects upon YOU! And these guys lack leadership at best and are a bunch of selfish turds at worst.
They have shown they are capable of beating any team in the country and if they can string together 6 of those wins, they can win the natty. But they've also shown if they face an obscure mid-major in the round of 64, they probably get sent home. Some responsibility has to be placed at the feet of the coaches because their job is to get the best out of their players and make them better. But the players have some responsibility in this too.
I'm thrilled we beat a very good Baylor team yesterday when most people thought we'd get run out of the gym. But our bipolar Tide showed up and played their A game and took home a win. But it also just magnifies the frustration and incredulity at the inconceivable losses that have been suffered through. In the end, it makes me mad. Mad that this bunch can't get their head out of their arse long enough to play to their ability for a whole season and perhaps, just perhaps make history for Bama hoops.

This is the perfect example of the conundrum that rabid fans of sports teams will encounter, if they are fans long enough!
The only thing that I know to do to help me through the anger of it all, is to stop and think about what it's doing to each member of the team! ...what they're having to endure at home, at school, at practice, hell, even when go out to eat or to a movie!
Fans can go find something to do, people to see, places to go, but the players are carrying that crap around with them everywhere and all the time!

So when the team wins it's all Oats and when they lose it's the terrible worthless loser players.
Pathetic.
It's Oats fault he can't motivate this team he assembled to be consistent. Hopefully he and the team has learned a lot and we can grow forward from here.
