Grant almost killed Bama BB for me.

ha im glad avery didnt long put you out of your misery then. ill say this for grant since im sure all the negatives have long been covered on here. despite the flaws, what i did appreciate about him was his no nonsense attitude. he always stood by his principles even at the jeopardy of his job. mitchells clowning finally got him off the team right before the tourney. did it cost us? yep. did lacey leaving to have more ''fun'' also cost us? yep. didnt matter, grant was going to have these kids leave bama as men either way, a trait i respect a great deal. esp in todays atmospherphere of bowing to players, and creating safe spaces and feelings seminars whenever a player gets a papercut, old school principles like that are a breath of fresh. thankfully oats seems to have the exact same mentality, but with superior coaching techniques.
