He’s been fantastic at bama, but he still hasn’t shown he can adjust to an inside game when the 3s are not falling

What is he going to do when phylon leaves?

Nate really is the Brian Kelly of hoops. His fans will believe, but everyone else knows he will never win shite

He’s an analytics guy that honestly sucks at analytics.

The Pear is ok with this.

Honestly, there ain't no strategy. High floor - players play hard because they're given the green light on threes. Make mistakes, but Bama plays hard, though not necessarily smart. Low ceiling, relatively speaking - bipolar offense built on 3s and drives to the basket, when possible, with a probable/hopeful kickout or a hopefully oncontested layup. I don't think there's an overall philosophy other than that, but no one's paying me millions to coach bball (doesn't see to be in my foreseeable future, either).

The analytics will tell you that style of play wins more games than not, but I'm not sure it will ever be enough to win the tournament. You would have to go on a ridiculous tear. Similar to Moneyball.

What’s he going to do when Miller leaves?
What’s he going to do when Sears leaves?
What’s he going to do when Philon leaves?

His offense will find ways, but he has to find a solution when the pace slows. Hitting the portal is key. Alabama has to spend.

It’s a shame Lendeborg was an hour from Tuscaloosa and got away. Put him on this team and that fills a big void. Size and defense matters as well, especially come March.

Noah Williamson was a big disappointment. Patriot League player of the year but soft as Charmin.
