Nate Oats going from being an HS coach to becoming one of the current top coaches amazes me. Alabama give him a chance and hit gold.

Great offensive coach no doubt. Very fun style to watch. I do question the defense at times, but they are up to top 29 def eff on Kenpom.

I still have trouble grasping that defensive rating when I see it. I feel like every time I've watched Alabama play they were never impressing anyone with their defense/points allowed.

It's points per possession, not points per game. Alabama is #1 in adjusted tempo. They give up a lot of points because teams get a lot of possessions.

Right, my brain just doesn't work that way and I've always felt those ratings can be deceiving. 81 points per game makes my skin crawl lol. Obviously, slow the game down, slow the scoring opportunities down. But Alabama will never slow down.
