I think our football success clouds our judgment when we are talking basketball.
Success breeds success. I don't think anyone on staff with the basketball program is striving to build a team that middles in the SEC and is a bubble/NIT team each year.
We're building for Final Four banners and National Championships. That's the goal. Will they get there this year, next year, or anytime in the foreseeable future? Probably not, but you have to start somewhere and you have to TRY.
I'm not down with the attitude that pushing for championships is "clouded judgment".

Of course the goal has been to put final 4 and championship banners in the rafters. It always has been...but how many are up in Coleman?
Right now, we can't criticize our players in their early years so much. I saw a lot of criticism with Coleman when he left and while he was streaky, he was asked to do too much as a PG with virtually 0 scoring threats around him. A PG cannot survive that way, especially one as small as he is.
I guess what I'm getting at is that as Bama fans, we can't hold these expectations that we should win like we do in football, especially right now. It takes time to build a great program and we will have to build with 3 and 4 year players imo. Development is key.
