re: Why is everyone so excited about this Avery Johnson hire?

But no doubt the excitement comes from the feeling he will be someone who can and will promote Bama basketball to the fans and recruits both of which are desperately needed. If he can hold his own developing players and coaching X's and O's than it could actually be just the hire Alabama needed at this point.

This.....X's and O's are last thing I am worried about with AJ. Being the CEO of a college program is where some pro guys trip up in the college ranks.

..but this hire has people buzzing and talking nationally about Bama basketball...the energy, excitement, publicity, is what is needed. We will be better with AJ at the helm....this hire and a 5- year plan, the program is at least moving forward and that is the most important thing.
