Alabama athletics director Bill Battle appointed John Brannen as the interim coach for the Alabama men's basketball team Monday, the school announced.
Brannen spent nine seasons as an assistant under former Alabama coach Anthony Grant, who was fired Sunday. The Crimson Tide received a bid to play in the NIT and are scheduled to play Illinois on Tuesday. Brannen will be the interim coach until the season ends.
