I wish Petty would contribute something besides shooting 3 pointers. They have 4 people on the floor most of the time actively participating. He looks like a middle schooler that doesn't know where to go. Do you even watch the games? Petty has made a huge improvement in his game as far as hustle, defense, and dribble penetration to get shooters open. He’s had to guard guys 6” taller than him bc Jones has been out and the bigs have either been banged up or in foul trouble. Look how many times he’s gone baseline to baseline to block a layeup that would have been an easy score. Petty has played his butt off.

Agree; ever since Oats did not start him for a game, I think he got the message

Just to be clear we are talking about the same Petty...Big hair, dull blank eyes, doesn't start sometimes because coach is trying to make something happen, very few rebounds, less assists. Petty is listed at 6'5"...how many 6'11" players are even in the SEC? Williams, Shackleford, "One-handed" Jones...they never quit and that's what Oats' system requires.

He is correct, you are incorrect Petty leads the team in rebounds and blocks. 2nd on team in assists, points and steals

Just an opinion on Petty from an outside, part of the time observer, he is either the best player on the court or the worse and it changes from night to night. He is very inconsistent which I imagine is what frustrates Oates to no end. I think that he just looks very laid back and this can give the impression that he doesn't care one way or the other which doesn't help his case either.

I also think he has matured and doesn’t force what’s not there. Vs AU, there was no driving the lane with Wiley in there. Dudes a tower to shoot over, so they rained 3s. However, I’ve seen it when the 3 wasn’t falling (KY game) he was aggressive at driving the lane. Ive heard that he and Oats are very close, so there maybe somewhat of a father/son relationship and the friction that comes from that.

Oats' whole philosophy is shoot 3's, so can't blame a guy for following what coach is telling them to do. That being said, we're hitting a fair amount of them, but if we're going to be chunking up that many three's, need to get some guys that can hit them regularly. He'll get them. Alabama has their first real good basketball coach since Wimp. Alabama and Auburn will both be good as long as Pearl and Oats stick around. Unfortunately, both programs go back to below average if they leave. It'll be fun while it last, though.

Alabama is ranked #2 in the nation in scoring l, averaging 83.2 points per game. Bama is currently # 86 out of 350 teams in 3pt % with 35.1 %. The number one team, BYU, is at 42.6 % but has only taken 714 attempts. Bama has taken 766, or 7th most in the nation. Some of y’all act like Bama isn’t scoring, or that all their guards suck and can’t shoot. Shackleford averaged 46 points per game last year. Idk what more y’all expect in Oats first year.

He'll drop 30 one night and 6 the next. It's crazy how streaky he is. When he's on, he's on. Not sure why it isn't more consistent though. His defense and rebounding is always there though, which wasn't the case last year

and there is no rhyme or reason to when or where.... you'd think maybe good at home, bad on road. Road: 6/8 double digits 7 39 19 16 23 4 21 20 Home: 7/13 double digits 9 9 5 10 4 14 17 18 20 11 8 8 8 Neutral: 3/3 double digits 16 23 34

So the defense is crappy is what you're saying, b/c amazing to lose that many games and be averaging that many points. But have you watched a game yet? Have you noticed all of the bricked and airballed threes? I think those stats are a bit skewed b/c they've had some where they hit a really high rate of 3 and others, not so much. I'm not questioning Oat's, I like the strategy, I'm just saying he hasn't had a chance to recruit his shooters that he needs.
