Heard him on the radio just now. Good coach and funny guy. Don't recall the details but was he fired for off the court issues?

Per wiki:

quote:

Watts said that on that day, two days before Alabama was to play Stanford in the NCAA Tournament, Sanderson punched her in the face, giving her a black eye, during an argument. Sanderson said Watts had become hysterical and that, in an effort to defend himself, he stuck out his hand. She collided with it, giving her a black eye.

As told to me by a friend of Sanderson's who was a teacher at State:

Wimp was having an affair with his secretary. Then his secretary found out he was cheating on her with someone else at the University. She confronted him after finding out and it got heated. Next thing ya know, Wimp had to slap a bitch.

It's always made me laugh thinking about how he was banging 3 women at the same time- Wimp is a playa

Wimp was having an affair with his secretary named Nancy Watts. Supposedly it had been going on for a long time and word was his wife, Annette,knew about it. Something happened either right after the '92 SEC tourney or NCAA tourney and he knocked the hell out of her.

This was the time of the Pat Dye/Auburn and Eric Ramsey saga. Funny bumper sticker I saw one time that fall going to the LSU-Auburn game was "Auburn--we may pay our players,but we don't beat our women".

BTW,Ms. Watts got married, or re-married about 10 years ago to--CM Newton.

I think he was innocent. I really like the guy and think he was telling the truth. Jilted lover causing problems IMO.


One of the saddest days in Bama sports for me, was the day he was fired.

12 yrs HC at Bama

- 9 SEC title game appearances
- 5 SEC tourney championships
- 11 post season tourneys
- 10 twenty plus win seasons
- sweet sixteen six times
- always had a team that played hard and was fun to watch
