It's obvious this board believes that Nate Oats is one of the best in the business

Kentucky fans want him... It boils down too whether he wants to deal with the expectations of the Kentucky job. ... From math teacher, a decade ago, to one of the most respected minds in college basketball today... Nothing but respect for him, whatever he may decide

Oats is the smokescreen

The real candidates are Drew, Hurley, Wright, and maybe Few

Everyone knows oats isn’t leaving and Kentucky isn’t calling. They can do better and oats is happy in Alabama.

Oats is a damn good coach, no doubt. Kentucky is not Bama, it's the Bama of Football but in Basketball.

The pressure and intensity of the supporters are just like Bama in football.

Oats runs a simple offense predicated on the 3. It's too simple for Kentucky fans and rightly so...

He would snap within a couple years, unless he pulls a Dan at UCONN and changes his philosophy.

Billy Donavan...hes worthy of Kentucky and could handle intensity of supporters.

His system is based on analytics and it works.

Modern basketball.

Only downside is shooters can have cold spells, teams can choose to not play at a fast tempo, and 5 out or single post can lead to some size mismatches.

In general, the positives outweigh the negatives bc players want to have a green light for shooting.

If your coach stays, he'll be there at your school coaching next year. No big deal.

If your coach leaves, you'll have another coach coaching there next year. No big deal.

He is a great coach. Not sure how anybody can disagree with that.

I want Oats at UK and Will Wade at Bama just for the fallout on the board.

Oats is a very good coach but unless UK gets turned down a few times I think the buyout will keep him there a bit longer.
