Wade may be. Oats may be. 2 years of head to head isn't near enough time

Eh, I won't argue that recruiting isn't part of coaching or get into a conversation of how Wade has "recruited" so well, but Oats has a pretty defined system that has proven to work once implemented. It worked at Buffalo and it's working at Alabama. When it comes to attracting talent yea, I think they're pretty similar. I'd take Oats 10/10 times when it comes to actually coaching though. Oats is now 3-1 against Wade with what on paper has been a less talented roster. Wade basically ignores the defensive end of the floor and that will always be what limits his ceiling.
