Teague reacted to Demo in General Coach Candidate News
Maybe. But what I’m confident is true is Öats’ agent taking that offer to Greg Byrne and Byrne saying, “yeah, no problem.” The only reason for Öats to leave there for IU is if he believes his chance of winning NC’s is significantly better. And in today’s environment that’s just not the case.

Why would Oats leave Alabama. He seems to have no problems recruiting talent to play there and he gets to build his own thing. At IU, he would have to rebuild a program and coach in the shadow of a HOF coach who still lives in town.

You can lean all you want, but I've got a lead pipe and my meemaw's .38 special waiting for anyone that comes down here looking to steal Oats.
I'm kidding.
I have much bigger guns.

Teague got a reaction from cchuntsman in Candidate Thread: Nate Oats (Alabama)
Just stopping back in to remind you guys again, we aren't letting Oats go.
I'll address some of your points.
1. Yes, he signed a new contract, with a huge (12-14 million) buyout, because in his words, "he doesn't care about the buyout, because he's not leaving."
2. "IU will give him a big raise." Well, so will we if we need to. He might get bumped up again, either way, if he wins a few more games this year.
3. "Bama doesn't care about basketball." Wrong. We're not UK, but we're second only to them in all time SEC wins. We're always near the top of the SEC in attendance, despite 15 years of mediocre teams and coaching. We have a huge basketball following (no, not as big as IU, but a lot bigger than you probably think) that has been dying for something to cheer about. Our facilities are as good as anyone's, with the exception of the arena. And, there are plans in work to completely gut the current arena and more or less turn it into a new one.
4. "The SEC is down." UK is down. But, the SEC, overall is pretty decent this year, if you delve into all the numbers. Some might say the B10 wasn't nearly as up as the experts thought.
6. Oats has said he isn't going anywhere soon. I don't think it's just coach speak. He's mentioned not dragging his daughters all over the country. And he believes Bama is a sleeping giant where nothing is holding him back from winning at the highest level. And he's right.
7. Recruiting. Bama was Recruiting well even before he arrived. We had a couple of 5 stars on the roster already. Nothing shocking about him signing more, especially with some of them being in-state Bama fans.
8. We're not letting him go easily. Honestly, I think if/when he leaves, it will be for the NBA. He seems to talk about the NBA a lot. But, he's going to have to win a lot more games to get their attention.
Look at that Loyola guy, or Beard. Have a nice day.

There's too many! We had to hire a cleaning service for that.
Anyway, like I said, stay away from Oats. He's no good anyway.
You guys have fun.

I love a guy with a sense of humor. Probably not going to happen and I actually have great respect for the Alabama football program, whether above board not. I like that you took the correct steps to protect your excellent basketball coach from predators. The world of sports can be an ugly place.

Teague got a reaction from IUc2016 in General Coach Candidate News
LOL. No deal. Also, there's a misconception about Alabama basketball. No, we're not a blue blood, but there's always been a very large basketball fan base at Bama. We just haven't had much to cheer about in a long time. Most people don't realize we're second only to kentucky in SEC wins. Granted arkansas came on board very late.

Just stopping by to mention a couple of things:
1. Stay away from our coach
2. Are you aware he just signed a contract extension with a 12+ million dollar buyout?
