Title: Coach Anthony Grant speaks......... Post by: Toxik76 on March 13, 2011, 11:32:27 PM I'll just post the quotes from the article
Disappointed Anthony Grant is grateful for Tide's No. 1 seed in the NIT Published: Sunday, March 13, 2011, 9:42 PM Don Kausler Jr. Quote "We certainly had hopes that we would be able to get an invitation, but obviously that didn't work out, so there's disappointment. The thing we've got to be able to do is move on and understand we've got a great opportunity to continue our season and continue to try to play for a championship. We'll have to regroup in a short period of time." On leaving Bama out: Quote "I really don't look at other teams, The committee's got a very tough process they have to go through. ...We're obviously disappointed that we did not make the field, but it is an invitational tournament. I certainly respect the decisions that were made." Ohio St AD Gene Smith (committee chairman) on Alabama in particular" Quote "A lot of people put head-to-head as a high priority in their criteria for different situations There were things with Alabama that didn't stack up compared to the other teams that became blemishes. All of these teams have blemishes and assets and things of that nature that paid attention to what their total resume was, and at the end of the day, they just didn't get enough votes." Grant on VCU making it in (GRRRR): Quote "I've never looked at things that way, obviously I'm very happy for VCU and those kids that we had an opportunity to be a part of their lives. I wish them all of the best. Our situation is our situation." Grant on what Bama needs to do moving forward to be sure to make it in: Quote "The process in terms of NCAA tournament selection appears to be a moving target, so you've got to evaluate what you need to do and how you need to do it" http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/03/disappointed_anthony_grant_is.html Title: Re: Coach Anthony Grant speaks.........

He did take a shot with the moving target comment though. Title: Re: Coach Anthony Grant speaks......... Post by: cbbama99 on March 14, 2011, 04:04:42 PM CAG is a class guy. What else could he say. I agree pmull. He did take a shot with the moving target comment though. True, but like 2Stater said, I think CAG was being VERY diplomatic even with that shot. You know inside he probably wanted to call them every name in the book, but that just shows once again the class and integrity of CAG. Title: Re: Coach Anthony Grant speaks.........
