If it happens, it will make basketball even more interesting in the state of Alabama. It might even be more interesting than football to me. I wouldn't mind seeing UAB, Auburn and Alabama duking it out on the basketball court. It being a mostly black sport, like football, makes it a showcase for the talent in the state and those who choose to come play in the state. It would be nice to see good, quality, competitive basketball. Even though I don't think Alabama should have gotten rid of Anthony Grant. He probably would have done as well as anybody else they will bring in. Notice how Coach K at Duke only has a pattern of only winning a championship every decade or so. He might or might not win this year, but it shows that even at a school that loves basketball like Duke it still takes time to build.

If you get Avery it could be a game changer for your basketball program. Avery played in the league, coached in the league and he's a brotha who can relate to his players. Top recruits would listen real close to his pitch.

Good pickup i believe for the Tide and a suprising one too. I think Avery will do well with the Crimson Tide and shock a lot of people with how fast he adapts to the college game.

Avery may come off as annoying but he seems like a genuinely good guy, I'm happy for him

Avery is a damn good coach. He never could along with bytch PGs and meddling owners in the league
Put Dirk on the bench for jackin shots up. Told him to get his tall ass in the post which lead to MVP, 1st Finals appearance in team history, and Dirk finally
got a ring later
Avery deserved better from the league
