This argument is so overplayed in my opinion. There is plenty of room for football and basketball at Alabama. Football will always be king (just like it is at Texas as well as every school in the SEC except Kentucky), but a coach who brings championship level success to Alabama basketball would get huge support. Texas basketball is never going to be as big as Texas football and the same goes for Alabama. If a coach can't handle being the head man of the number 2 sport on campus, then he isn't going to Texas, Alabama and the vast majority of other schools with FBS football.
I agree with what you are saying. My only point is that the opportunity at UT is open more so than UA right this second. It could change in no time. The argument about ego and being overshadowed lends more to him pushing for a raise at Wichita than anything.
In the end, who the hell knows. Ego's, money, family etc.
ETA: I would have had the bags packed already on my way to Tuscaloosa.
