Alabama men’s basketball coach Nate Oats confirmed Wednesday that star forward Brandon Miller is being accompanied by an armed security guard after receiving threats.

The guard, who was carrying a gun, was visible at Alabama’s afternoon news conference featuring Miller and its practice open to fans inside Legacy Arena.

“If you guys saw some of what I’ve seen sent his way, I think you would understand why that’s the case,” Oats said. “I don’t want to get into all of that. The entire situation, as you know, is just heartbreaking on all accounts.

“... Some of the messages from people that can sit behind fake email addresses, but who knows whether they’re real or not, that I’ve seen. Something that nobody would ever want their son -- I treat my players like my own sons.

Bet a lot of those IP's would trace back to Lee County and a lot of parishes in Louisiana.

I’d never like to see a woman get shot down because of Gump athletics.

New material for a Joseph Goodman article, I’m sure.

Of course. There are some Grade A degenerates posting here. Remember the Poli Board during the last election?

Can't he defend himself? We know he's probably carrying a gun.

I would hope if you were sending illegal death threats you'd at least be behind a VPN.

The kind of mad barner or LSU fan that emails death threats doent really think that kind of shite through.

Also, a VPN company will give up your IP address in a heartbeat if they're asked for it by law enforcement. If they're not already a honeypot to begin with.

I don’t understand the need for armed security. If he gets in some sort of altercation can’t he just text one of his teammates to bring him a gun?

I certainly hope no one does anything idiotic to them like the Bama players and friends did to Jamea.

Never happened and no link could ever be provided to back up this lie.

Now, post historical data on bama fans sending and carrying out death threats...there are quite a few out there!

History shows it should be the other way around. I think a security guard to guard other people from him is more warranted.
