The green flag drops on the Toyota Owners 400 on Easter Sunday night at Richmond Raceway
Yet the Alabama men’s basketball coach knew he needed as much input as possible as his team was reeling heading into the NCAA Tournament.
Alabama entered March Madness with four losses in six games, three of which were by 14 points or more. After their loss to Florida in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals, Oats spent the weekend before the selection show picking the brains of former Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim and UMass’ Frank Martin, who led South Carolina to the Final Four in 2017.
Since arriving in Tuscaloosa in 2019, Oats hasn’t been afraid or concerned about being shadowed by Saban and the football program. Going into this season, Oats had only three returning players. He also had to replace three assistant coaches after they got head coaching jobs. “He’s just a great coach all around,” said senior Aaron Estrada, a transfer from Hofstra. “He lost a lot from last year. So just for him to rebuild a group like he got us, I think, like I said, it just goes to show how hardworking he is and how much of a competitor he is as well.”
