With some local guys in Birmingham. Some of y'all might have seen the short bit from Mark Gottfried yesterday on the same show.



Bucky went into that a little bit more on the show and talked about how he almost went to play at Alabama but chose to go ahead and start coaching at Mountain Brook instead.

whether by design or not, it seemed like him meeting with the boosters and putting a roster together might have really speed things up for him. If he had bunch of guys already on the roster, maybe Bucky doesn't really meet with the booster right outta of the blocks.

Oh I think he was going to meet with them anyway. I get the sense that Bucky has studied what programs similar to ours that found success did to find that success.

For how much his public persona is sometimes a little unassuming I think Bucky is a killer.

Loved so many of Bucky's comments in the interview, especially the Gig 'em at the end. Nice touch!

We should send a quick petition to get Bucky available to play so the announcers of the Bama game can have some fun with how ridiculous it all is.

I'm not a huge basketball person, so I don't know the X's and O's. What I do know is he has a group of brand new guys no one else wanted playing together and winning. I love Bucky!

why do you think no one else wanted these players? And yes these are new guys playing together this year, but some have a lot of experience.

On one of the broadcast they mentioned that they were ranked like 85 and lower in the transfer portal, plus it was late in the year. Like I said I don't know just what I heard.

At what point do you start having a contract renegotiation? The way the league is shaping up, I can see some big jobs open up towards mid march. Hate to lose another good coach. Buckys team has a lot of similarities to what we liked about Buzz teams. Difference is they can shoot, move the ball well on offense, and more importantly move well without the ball on offense. Never understood why the Buzz Help defensive scheme didnt translate to similar movement on the offensive side of the ball outside offensive rebounds. Sorry i kinda had a tangent towards the end.

Our school is incapable of recognizing great talent. Trev might be able to solve for this for a hire he initiated that was frankly a huge risk.

The Elko extension was deserved but not well received and has been used to explain the losses to Texas and Miami. It's hard to be an effective AD in this crazy.

Great interviews to be sure, but the way Bucky talks about Alabama makes me very nervous about what (if anything) we would be able to do to keep him should they offer him the job. Going to be "mama called" all over again.

Really weird finding myself hoping that Nate Oates has a lot of success against everybody but us...

I think Nate is pretty well locked down in a contract with buyouts for at least a few years right now
