What Was Anthony Grant Like at Alabama-Article

[Marshal Dillon]

Interesting. Read the entire article.

Anthony Grant apparently will join the Thunder staff. Nothing from the Thunder yet, but Florida media is reporting that Grant will join Billy Donovan in the NBA.

Grant spent six years as head coach of Alabama. He was fired in March and hired at Florida to join Donovan's staff.

"But he really kept to himself. Biggest knock (besides not winning) was that he was bad with the press and did zero to sell the program or out in the community to raise the profile.

"We did a story going into this past season where we (obtained) actual attendance -- i.e., how many showed up, not just how many tickets sold or distributed -- and it had fallen below 4,000, which is horrible.

EXACTLY!! Less than 4,000 in attendance is way unacceptable & that was more than enough justification to can him. I knew it was bad, just didn't know it was that bad.

This seems to confirm what we all thought.  Grant is a great guy, good recruiter, and has a great basketball mind, but just wasn't ready to handle the responsibilities of being a major conference coach.  Much like DuBose and Shula.

We all knew this. I have gone to one game in the last three years because it was not  a fun atmosphere. The play on the court was boring and the few fans at the game just sat quietly waiting for the 6 minutes scoring drought.

We needed a change and we got one. I like everything CAJ is doing. It may not be his first year but Alabama basketball will be fun again.
