Let's not get hyperbolic. Oates may be a decent coach, but his style won't win a championship in my opinion. He recruits shooters, tells them to run to the three point line, and throw up a zillion threes a game. If they are hot, they can win like they did against Clemson. If they are off, the will get whipped off the map against teams like UCONN.
There was one point in that Clemson game where I didn't see Bama even attempt a two point shot for like five minutes. I'm curious as to why you guys say he is such an awesome coach. Like I said, he's good, but let's not get carried away with this.

I will make this quick and to the point. Oats has been at Alabama 5 seasons. In those 5 seasons he has:
The most total wins of any SEC coach
2 SEC Titles
2 SEC Tourney titles
4 straight NCAA tournament appearances
3 Sweet 16s
1 Elite 8
1 Final Four
At Alabama. In Basketball. That is why.

Oats coaches based on analytics…a 3 counts more than a 2 if you’re hitting 35% or better from that range. Either shoot from beyond the arc or get in the paint for a layup or a dunk. Bama missed a shitload of easy shots within five feet of the basket against Clemson or it would’ve been a blowout.
I saw a shot chart of the Clemson game (will try to find it) and Bama took one midrange shot the entire game. Everything else was a 3 or underneath the basket.
