We’re talking about attire here.

It’s literally the same style. Both come off as entitled.

You can say a lot about Oats but you can't deny that he's earned every bit of his career. DIII guy from Wisconsin who was a high school coach 10 years ago. Isn't close to entitled. Works like a maniac.

Your coach dresses like he’s about to go orchestrate an opera.

It's pure jealousy disguised as hatred because he owns most of the SEC teams. OP and most of SECR posters aren't emotionally or intellectually mature enough to recognize or admit it. You know I'm right. RTR

I always assumed Oats wore plaid out of respect for Wimp Sanderson.

Buzz is a much more humble and gracious coach than Pearl, too. Not sure what that matters.
Oats is absolutely a firebrand who is confident and even cocky, but he has no issues being gracious when he loses.
After loss to Auburn
quote:
“It was a great game, great environment. It wasn’t a great game, but the environment was great. Auburn was ready to go, and we weren’t. This was for first place. They came out and played like it was for first place.....They were better than us. They played harder. They out-rebounded us."
After loss to Tennessee
quote:
“That was as dominating a performance somebody has put on us in a long time around here. They’re good, they’re tough, they’re physical. We weren’t ready for it. I didn’t do a good enough job prepping them for their aggressiveness.....Give them a ton of credit. Coach (Rick) Barnes’ teams always play hard. They’re one of the best teams on defense this year and they just dominated us in a big way."
After loss to Creighton
quote:
“That’s a tough loss. I mean, they’re a good team. We fought. We were in there definitely wasn’t one of our better shooting nights, but they didn’t shoot it great either. (Ryan) Kalkbrenner affected the rim in the second half. We were able to get downhill to finish at the rim a little bit better in the first half. We’re not doing enough to win against good teams right now, and Creighton’s a really good team...But they’re good. I mean, they do a good job defensively. They did a good job guarding the 3-point line. It’s our season-low in threes made. We didn’t shoot it great, and it was large part due to the way they guard. They kind of run you off the line and push down into Kalkbrenner. Our defensive end, we just weren’t quite good enough. We’ve got to do a better job guarding the ball ourself. I didn’t think we did a great job with that."
After loss to San Diego State last year
quote:
"San Diego State is a very good team. When you get to the Sweet 16, you know, all the teams are good at this point. You know, they're tough, physical, veteran group.....And they're a really good group with some veteran players. They definitely got experience, and they got down nine and came out and turned it right around. You've got to give them a lot of credit."
After loss to Texas A&M last year
quote:
“It’s another tough game. That’s four in a row we’ve had come down to the wire, coming off a hard-fought win Wednesday against Auburn. A&M made us play hard for this one, which we expected, and we just didn’t quite have enough. They were ready to go, we weren’t."
After loss to Gonzaga last year
quote:
“It was a good game. Happy everybody in Birmingham got to see a good game. It didn’t go the way we wanted it to, but that’s a quality team, though. Offensively, they were really good, and they were good enough on defense today to turn us over 21 times. Gonzaga’s been one of the best programs in the country for a lone time now. They’ve got really good players, and I thought our players battled with them for a lot of the game."
After loss to UConn last year
quote:
“It’s a tough loss. UConn’s obviously a really good team. It’s the first loss of the season, so you learn about yourself a little bit. I thought our first-half turnovers killed us, but we did a good job. I thought we showed a lot of fight getting back.....The good thing about losing to UConn is you get to face the No. 1 team in the country in two days (laughs). Shoot, they’re good. With the turnaround from Thursday to Friday, we didn’t touch the Michigan State game....I think the physicality of the game – obviously UConn’s one of the toughest teams in the country year in and year out. Coach Hurley does a great job. We didn’t handle the physicality well. Like you said, we’ve got four freshmen in the rotation playing pretty heavy minutes. We’ve just gotta do a better job. The coaching staff’s gotta do a better job prepping them for it. "
I mean, every loss is basically the other team is very good and our team has tons to figure out. That's like 2/3 of our losses the last 2 years and all of them are praising the other team - both in general and specific stuff - while noting all the specific stuff we have to improve on.
Shite, half the wins sound like that.

Yes nobody had anything bad to say about Avery Johnson or Anthony Grant,
Posted on 2/8/24 at 12:04 pm to SummerOfGeorge
10 years ago he was teaching 5 math classes a day at Romulus High School in Michigan & selling Cheetos and Pop-Tarts out of his office to fundraise for his HS basketball program. He may be a lot of things but entitled isn't one of them.

quote:Bjork Entitled? YES - Bjork acts entitled and the fact that big programs keep giving him AD jobs is confusing to say the least. What exactly has he accomplished that justifies overseeing athletic departments at the level of aTm & tOSU?
Both come off as entitled.
Entitled Oats? NO - He's worked hard and earned his way. He's a jackass and he's no arse kisser and he does not demonstrate a personality of entitlement.

Muscleman is the least likable to me, followed by Nate.
I think Oats is a really good coach though.

Bruce Pearl is the biggest used car salesman, tent preacher scam artist so he would be the most hated.

He's the most genuine. If you want fuzzy, buy a cat.

Who hated Jimbo? 
Posted on 2/8/24 at 12:23 pm to CatfishJohn
The people who started fck Jimbo threads everyday and now trying to claim they didn’t. sit down if y’all gonna act dumbfounded about it.
But in basketball, Nate Oats is the least liked coach on tRant. I’m getting to the bottom of why.

(a) He wins, and he wins at a time when Alabama is also good at football which really makes certain fanbases furious because for a long time they got to laugh at Alabama basketball when football ended.
(b) He's extremely Yankee and extremely blunt - sometimes to his detriment, but a lot of the time super interesting to people who actually like to hear specifics about the game and honest assessments of what they just watched (good and bad about his team, he just tells it).
(c) The Darius Miles/Brandon Miller situation.
(d) He coaches at Alabama and this is the Rant.
Pretty simple

Personally, it's Musselman. He just doesn't do much during the regular season. Nate Oats will take your lunch money.
