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

I don't know why it is so hard for people to understand. It is very obvious and just a very small amount of intelligence is all that should be needed.


Bama bball fans have had nothing to get excited about for 6-10 years, nothing. Bball fans are starved for anything that can possibly change that. Bama got rid of part of the problem, that was exciting. Bama searched for a coach without going the cheap route, that shows a commitment to the program and that is exciting. Bama hired a very popular and likable coach with an NBA pedigree, that also happens to have some personality. That is very exciting. The possibilities of what he may be able to accomplish is exciting.

The unknown is exciting, simply because anything can happpen. With Grant and the last few years with Mark, there was nothing unknown, everyone knew exactly what to expect. Avery, good hire or bad, for now it doesn't matter, I am excited!!
