The real question is if Alabama is so rich in athletics, why has their bball program never been any good? It's been a graveyard for pretty decent coaches.
Bad luck, transfers, really young team.

Maybe we can pick up Oats when Danny's contract expires in 2025.
Along those lines... Anthony Grant should be a candidate next year I think. I think his Dayton team next year will be as good as any of Archie's teams were, and he had a higher conference win percentage than either Gottfried or Johnson.
I don't see Grant leaving his alma mater unless we backed up 2 Brinks trucks.

I think Wake probably could spend as much as Alabama was willing to spend. With the new Shah center, we will probably have them beat for basketball facilities as well. Furthermore, they've snagged pretty big coaching names the last two go-arounds and don't have a lot to show for it. The only time they've had consistent success over the last 30 years was when Gottfried was there doing his Gottfried things (also - they weren't that successful - three winning conference records in eleven years).
They have more money as an athletic department, but basketball is not a priority for them like it is / should be at Wake.
They're a rich school but they've gone too far and got the coach that we weren't signing anyway. We can't rely on Mit Shah's money, we can't rely on Mit Shah's money.

They've been better than Wake in the postseason. Since 2000, Bama has 7 NCAA trips with one of those going to the Elite 8. Wake has gone 8 times with the Sw16 run in 04. So arguably, Bama has been just as good of a program over the last 20 years, though Wake has certainly nabbed more elite talent over that period. During the 90s, Wake was a solid notch above Bama, but Bama was better during the 80s and probably at their peak at the end of the 80s/early 90s when they had Horry, Spree, and later McDyess. Never considered a title contender like Wake has been at times.

I mean historically. Ironic that people are talking about Grant here. He also didn't succeed at Bama.
Best record in conference since Wimp Sanderson.
