There's definitely a difference in bashing and questioning. Every coach gets questioned

Exactly, this is about your expectations, not Grant. I'm not saying there's no reason to question, but wow, reading your comments. You sound very immature.

And I say that as someone who generally enjoys your posts. Just seems like a really irrational, knee jerk reaction.

It's immature to state that Grant hasn't beaten Donovan or Martin, and the only team we've really beaten that's had more talent than us was UK last year? I don't count MSU in the more talent wins because they have a full retard on their sideline.

No, that's not immature, those are facts. But I feel like you keep casually referring to 'beating teams with better talent' like it's something to be expected. This is basketball, talent reigns supreme, and we're Alabama, a mid-tier program. We've improved every year under Grant. We're going to the tournament. Jamychal and Tony are gone next year and we'll have a core of Sophomore and Juniors leading the team. We'll see how he does then. I'm not saying some of what you're saying isn't true; I just can't fathom what you think Grant is supposed to do about it and why you think today is a good day to say all of these things. You've watched this team for three years, be reasonable. Roll Tide!

I expect us to occasionally beat a team with better talent. That's the bench mark for being a good team. You have to beat a team or two when you aren't favored. That's what I want to be. That's not unreasonable. I'm not asking to be top 15 and only lose 5-6 times a year. That's unreasonable.

Those comments have nothing to do with today. The third season is over for the most part. I hope to get to play two more games. I'm just reflecting on the previous three years. The progression of nothing, to NIT, to the NCAAs is progress. Now it's up to our recruiting to keep progressing.

I've gotten pretty negative regarding our team. It's improvement to be in the big dance though. That's the good news. It's a helluva lot better than being in the NIT. I am concerned with the inability to beat teams with better talent. I don't want us to be satisfied with the Gottfried/Stansbury way of just being good enough to get by. But I also thinks it's a longer process than I had anticipated.

I understand your frustration,but I agree to disagree.If Grant stays at Bama for five plus years I have no doubt that he have teams that will surpass anything that CMN and WS ever did.My only fear is if Flordia or some similar team goes after him as their coach.

I hope we can get back to being a consistent sweet 16 team like with Sanderson

think we would like to increase our chances to rebound that's why. Grant bashers are dumb as hell.



Jacobs got three rebounds. Cooper got 1 in only a few minutes. Compare Cooper's rebounds per minutes played to Jacobs' and Cooper is more productive. Only advantage that Jacobs has is a better post game. Cooper more athletic, better shooter, better defender.

I hope this game shuts up all the JaMychal haters out there. He had 22 points and 10 rebounds in this game. Florida beat Bama by 9 in Tuscaloosa without him.

Please don't anyone else say this is a better team without him.

Green played really well today. He's always been fairly consistent. We are going to miss his production next year. Our guards will have to up their production tenfold.

Our defense is solid except for Jacobs. I hope whoever our matchup is doesn't have an athletic big man. That's Jacobs's Achilles heel

I'm concerned about how we will replace Green's production.
