Six threes to open the game. Easier to shoot when the head coach isn’t screaming like a mad man
Bama plays loose for Oats
- Thread starter gwjenning

At one point it was 30-8.
Petty was 4 for 4 from 3.
Games over
Between what I saw from UT and LSU tonight UK might be ok.

What an idea! Recruit shooters and let them shoot
I do think it will be hard to win a title with the run and gun style.
The pressure will lend itself to a snowball effect when the 3s arent falling.

I have said for a while that Oats would be my 1st choice if Cal was to leave. He called out Coach rat when they canceled games and said he wouldn't do that if he was 4-0 instead of 2-2. He plays as he did at Buffalo when they knocked out ARZ and Ayton. They have scored 43 with almost 8 minutes left. He is an up and comer in the coaching ranks and probably gets a big school offer in a year or two if he keeps it up. Bama is tough this year and might be hard to catch. One thing is for sure he coaches a fun style to watch.
I don’t. They play 5-out and spread you out, corners make baseline cuts or stay out on penetration; someone will be open. It looks impossible to stop.
I agree! I think you need a mixture. But shooters are definitely key to winning in today’s game
Reminds me a bit of Loyola Maramount in the late 80s and Pitinos Bombinos except Bama has the athletes.

John Petty is making himself money this year. Guy is having a heck of a season.
Watching Petty start 7 for 7 from 3 so far kills me knowing he wanted to come to UK. I really thought we were going to bring him in I still don't get that one because there wasn't anything I know of to back off of him before like money.
Had he came to UK we would’ve been long gone by now
He would have been long gone before he got good .
Yep. Imagine having a guy like Petty who stayed four years and is shooting like this. Our fans would be nuts over him.
Bama's halfcourt offense reminds me of Rick Pitino's offense at UK without the full court pressure. When you have 5 guys that can score, it doesn't make sense to make unnecessary passes. The first guy with a good look lets it fly. I LOVE the pace they play at and their ability to make open shots.
It's the EXACT OPPOSITE of the Cal offense. We RARELY get a better shot late in the clock than we would have had in the first 10 seconds. The game hasn't changed. Putting the BALL IN THE HOOP is still the MOST IMPORTANT aspect of the game!!

Fully expect Bama to brick everything when it counts and get knocked out of the tourney in the first weekend.
Oates has never won a thing and he won’t this year either. Gimmick offenses are all fun and good during the regular season.

Will point out that the three highest PER guys on the team, including the best shooter (Petty), are all seniors that were recruited by the previous coach.What an idea! Recruit shooters and let them shoot
This argument about coaches not winning a thing “yet” is pretty weak. All great coaches have been there at one point. If you think that’s a “gimmick” offense, you might want to watch an NBA game. They have guards who will drive and score on you all night if you overplay them. If you help off, they are kicking it to knock down shooters all over the floor. This is not a gimmick. It’s basketball.
I actually think it's a compliment to him that he is winning in his 2nd year with a some kids he didn't recruit. That speaks to being able to adapt to your personnel.
Looks like Alabama is the class of the SEC this year not Tennessee
I assume you are one of the ones that would rather have Oates then Cal? Feel sorry for you if that’s the case. He’s the latest flavor of the month who is having a good season and people go crazy. Bama won’t do anything in the tournament. Let’s reel it in a bit.
It’s not a gimmick. It’s modern basketball. Also, Oats is in his second year at Alabama. He hasn’t had time to really build up their program. It takes a few years to get things going. The fact that he has Bama looking as good as they are is impressive to say the least.
What is gimmicky about it? The fact that they don't swing the ball around the wing for 25 seconds and insist on feeding it down low like it's 1987? This team may very well falter when it counts but as I have tried to impart on my Bama brethren just make the freakin tournament.
well at least they will make the ncaa
Hell, I would have gladly taken 2 years of him. Reminds me a little of Quickly.
Oates is 123-61 and 2-3 in the NCAA tournament, but he would be the the savior of UK basketball! Lol (not that UK needs saving) He was pretty good as a high school coach though!
I’d wait until after the tournament to see what Alabama does. We had a flavor of the month recruiting wise 2010-2015. Now we have a flavorless program all together!
I mean let's be fair he was at Buffalo and made the NCAA Tourney 3 out of 4 years. While there they knocked out a hell of an ARZ team. This is only his 2nd year at Bama and he's doing pretty well. It's not like he has had a shot at a real BB school and yet he is thriving.
A little easier to do things here than Buffalo and even Bama in BB.
