I don't think we see any movement before the Championship night in which Duke will end the unbeaten season of Ky. I will give KY. credit they are a great young team and next year they will really be good! RTR!

North Carolina State just knocked off No. 1 Seed Villanova to make it to the Sweet 16.

Maybe we should just apologize to Gottfried and beg him to come home.

I was just thinking the same thing!!!!!

Too bad he couldn't bring Trevor Lacey back as well!

Do you remember why he was fired? It was not pretty.

There were rumors of an affair, and he had decreased success over 1 1/2 years, probably distracted. 

But I never thought he couldn't coach, he had already proven it.

forgive and forget. I remember 1 time I never thought Lane would be associated with the Crimson Tide.

He was not fired he quit... mid season with a 2-3 SEC record so it was not even late in the year. Phillip Pearson finish the season as coach. It got very ugly. The whole Ron Steele think and his alleged affair with a players girlfriend. He had lost interest and focus and the team quit on him. A change had to be made and he quit before he was fired.

I liked Gottfried as a player and a coach for the first 7-8 years. I hold no grudge against him or Trevor Lacey and hope they do well. I don't want him back as coach and I don't think there is a chance in he** that would happen.

IMO it is harder to make the NCAA now than when MG was coach. MG was 210-131 (.616) compared to CAG 117-85 (.524) but the non conference scheduling is much more difficult now. MG was 83-82 in SEC play. CAG was 54-49. MG coached when there was a East and West. The West was much weaker than the East. We played each West team twice and East team once. The better teams in the league were UK, Florida and Vandy. The success he is having at NC St is more impressive than what he did at Alabama. The Elite 8 year we had a 20-13 (8-8 SEC) record. That might not made the Tournament today.

I really don't think he "quit" officially.  The University continued paying him on his contract.

The official record shows he resigned. I imagine it was a negotiated resignation.

I heard that Battle and Bonner both were in Miami yesterday showing support for the team. I thought that was a good move.

Battle and Bonner were also at the SEC Gymnastic Championship last night because they were in the team picture celebrating the win.

He might be doing more as AD than I have been giving him credit for.

I think this entire fiasco about Grant has really gotten his attention. I was listening to JOX on Wednesday (I think) after the firing of Grant. It's the Roundtable with Dunaway, Brown, & LT. They stated that their sources said Battle had decided to to keep Grant & he went to several folks to discuss it with them. I assume these "folks" were prominent alumni, big donors, UA President, Board of Trustees, etc. He was met with a huge negative response for keeping Grant and he was described as totally stunned by the reaction. After that, Grant was fired. That sounds like a person out-of-touch with what was going on around him & now we hear he is looking to spend big money on a new coach. Like I said, I think he had a real comeuppance & reality check over Grant.

If this article is true, Gregg Marshall is the top choice and Shaka Smart is number 2.  Would we really go after VCU's coach on two consecutive searches?

Sources maintain that it is Marshall's job to turn down and that Battle is prepared to make a significant financial commitment to the Shockers head coach, with a contract in the $3.0 to $4.0 million annual salary range. We do not expect serious discussions with Marshall until the conclusion of Witchita State's season. At that time, we expect a decision in a 24-48 hour window.
