Good stuff. Long article.

Look deeper into why and you'll see Bama is pulling off a gambit that has rarely been duplicated. The Tide rank third nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency according to KenPom.com, yet they have the second-quickest offense in the sport (their average possession is 14 seconds on a 30-second shot clock) and that translates to an adjusted tempo of 74.5 possessions per game, which is the seventh-fastest in college basketball. Fast teams normally aren't great on defense. Alabama breaks the concept.

Well, Coach Oats has been quick to bench any starter that doesn't want to put out energy on the defensive end.   Petty has had to "learn" that at least twice, possibly three times in the last two seasons.
