Bama is no longer in the banner hanging business it appears.

I remember just two years ago that Alabama fans (the few who said basketball mattered at all) said LSU's multiple Final Fours didn't mean anything, that only titles counted.

Seeing how Auburn posters are acting with basketball success shows their deep seeded issues

Look man you & I have had our differences and that’s ok.

Every team has a different style and its own strengths and weaknesses.

WDE Anyway!

NATE CHOKES


In six seasons at Alabama, Nate Oats has led Alabama to 5 NCAA tournaments.

His overall record is 11-5. He has averaged 2 NCAA tourney wins per season.

As the higher seeded team he is 10-3.

As the lower seeded team he is 1-2.

Of the 5 teams they lost against, 4 made the final four and two of those the championship game, one champion and one runner up.

Do you want me to do Bruce Pearl? You don’t want me to do Bruce Pearl. But I will.

In eleven seasons at Auburn Bruce Pearl has led Auburn to 6 NCAA tournaments.

His overall record is 11-5. He has averaged one NCAA tourney win per season.

As the higher seed he is 7-3.

As the lower seed he is 4-2.

Comparison:

NCAA Appearances:

Oats - 83%
Pearl - 55%

Average tournament wins per season:

Oats - 2
Pearl - 1

As the higher seeded team:

Oats: 77%
Pearl: 70%



It would appear that Bruce Pearl chokes more often than Oats, failing to make the tournament nearly 50% of the time and then losing to higher seeds a higher percentage of the time when he does.

Pearl also had to build a program almost from scratch. Not a fair comparison to Oats. They are both good coaches, but Pearl gets the nod for me.

That’s a lot of words just to show that Pearl has 2 Final Fours to Oats’ 1.

Pearl has 5 wins (with a chance this year for more) against NCAA Tourney opponents seeded 1-5.

Oats has 1.

Considering your qualification is making the Final Four then Bama was great last year.

Pearl had a five year head start to build a program before Oats arrived at Alabama. Despite that, Oats has the better head to head record.

But you would take Hitler, Satan or Derek Dooley over any Alabama coach.
