re: Gregg Marshall reaches deal to stay at Wichita St.

I don't get all the hate on Alabama right now. They were in this..if Wichita didn't pony up the money then I think he would of gone to Bama. His family also wanting to stay in Shocker nation was obviously a big factor as well.

I think it's absurd to say a coach can't win at Alabama or any other SEC school not named Kentucky or Florida. It may be a little more difficult to get the big name athletes, but it's starting to gradually happen. Bringing in all these big name coaches will help tremendously. They are not going to play second fiddle to any school and the big name recruits will start coming in.

The SEC culture in basketball is starting to change and i'm happy to see this. Alabama went big, and it didn't pan out but at least they threw everything they could throw at him. Kudos to them
