Nate Oats has Nick Saban on speed dial as he vies to turn Alabama into a championship basketball program.
Nate Oats has Nick Saban on speed dial. 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. The result? The Crimson Tide are making their first appearance in the Final Four. They have won four straight, including an 89-82 victory over Clemson in the West Regional final. 'The best team doesn’t always win because it’s a one-game elimination tournament. You’ve got to be hot at the right time.
I came to Alabama loving the fact that I was going to be able to work in the same athletic department as arguably the best — maybe not even the best football coach — the best coach of any team sport in modern history, or college sports, anything, and I didn’t want to bother him. But I certainly picked his brain when it was appropriate.' Oats has matched Saban when it comes to rebuilding a roster and surpassing expectations.
