The Alabama basketball team is off to a disappointing start in 2019. Through six games, the Crimson Tide is 2-4, including back-to-back losses to North Carolina and Iowa State in the “Battle for Atlantis” tournament.
The unfortunate start to new head coach Nate Oats’ tenure could have Alabama fans concerned about the future of the program, but one familiar name in the world of basketball gave some relieving insight via Twitter.
Golden State Warriors starting power forward Draymond Green was that player, and he revealed his opinion during the Crimson Tide’s second loss in as many days on Thanksgiving:
I had no clue Nate Oats was coaching at Alabama. This dude has won at every level he’s coached at… It won’t be long before he get the tide rolling!! Much Respect!

This was never going to be an instant turnover for the program, especially with key injures to players such as Juwan Gary and James Rojas. And if that wasn’t enough, the NCAA also denied Villanova transfer Jahvon Quinerly’s request for immediate eligibility.
It’s frustrating right now, Alabama fans, but continue to try to show patience. Oats is the right man for the job!
