I don't think the lack of a new arena would be the main reason Oats would leave. He's either eventually going to want to take a crack at a blueblood program where basketball is on, or above, the same level as football or try the NBA.

I get the money aspect but building the arena shows that Alabama is serious about basketball to the rest of the nation. It's a bad look to be the brand that Alabama is and has one of the worst venues in the conference.

If he ever does leave, and if he wasn't coaching in a new arena when that time arrives, it will be in the back of everyone's head.

Exactly. Oats is at the school that has the greatest football program in college football history. If we don’t do everything we can to get him a new arena, yet keep doing renovations to BDS, it’s like we’re telling him that he’s second fiddle. We need to be serious about it because this is our chance to reach our potential as a basketball program.
