They'll have their talking points ready for tomorrow.Oats haters will be grasping at straws to spin this.
By gimicky you mean winning? I wish Cowl would buy a gimicky book for dummies then. It’s funny to see people talk smack about a coach that’s won more tourney games this year than Cowl has in last 5 or 6 total.Too gimmicky
Oats is going to be a top coach one of these days. One of the big programs will take him from Alabama eventuallySee Mitch should’ve went and got Oats before he signed his extension with his big buyout….. Just like Mitch he’s always late to the party…
Me too, I like the way he coaches. I like his attitude too.I've liked Oats since Buffalo. Still do. I think the step up to Kentucky would put him over the top. But it doesn't matter now.
Yes he should have, now Cal’s is going down but it doesn’t offset any of their buyouts.See Mitch should’ve went and got Oats before he signed his extension with his big buyout….. Just like Mitch he’s always late to the party…
Yeah me too. I don't change like the wind like some on here. I've liked him a long time it doesn't change with a loss. He has that it factor you need to succeed at Kentucky.Me too, I like the way he coaches. I like his attitude too.
I felt like UNCheat was the most talent team between the two last night. Oats did a good job. You could tell how bad they wanted that winHe got out of the first weekend so that’s an upgrade than what we have now.
Oats did a good job tonight. I felt like UNCheat should have went inside more to Bacot. Alabama really struggled defending him.

The flip side would be that he’s doing it with Bama level basketball talent. They kinda have to run hot and cold. Maybe a blue blood level of recruiting gives him more of a floor.My biggest problem with Oats is that he is hot and cold. Right now he is hot. But, Cal has beaten him at Bama 4 times and Oats has won 3. Not ONE of those games was close at the end. The closest game was a 9 point spread. He blew us out in one game by 26 and we blew his team out by 22.
I am impressed with his coaching at Buffalo. He definitely outcoached Hubert last night.
That winning gimmick...that is funny there.By gimicky you mean winning? I wish Cowl would buy a gimicky book for dummies then. It’s funny to see people talk smack about a coach that’s won more tourney games this year than Cowl has in last 5 or 6 total.
If only Oats had "tweaks."Too gimmicky
That appears to be the silly excuse Mitch has settled on.No coaches available so suck it up and accept cal
Oats needed to prove himself after last years embarrassing choke job with the path he had to the title game. All he had to do was beat 5 seed, 6 seed and 9 seed mid major like teams. He had a very talented team last year and should have taken that team to the title game, drama or not.
This year's ncaa tournament has showed he can learn and improve. Now he needs to finish the job and beat Clemson and make the final four. He will then get the shot at uconn he should have had last season.
I would love Oats at UK but I've always said Barney would never hire him probably.
We've hired 3 coaches who coached SEC teams to SS prior to coming here and they all got the boot.
I am having a brain freeze. Who are the 3 who got the boot?
Eddie - FF, EE, and SS x2 with Arky
Tubby - SS x 2 with dawgs
Billy - SS with Aggie
For the life of me, I can’t figure out how some on here just fail to realize that about coaches the get talked about. Give just about anyone with a pulse the resources Cal had had and you’d get better results than he has the last five yrs.The flip side would be that he’s doing it with Bama level basketball talent. They kinda have to run hot and cold. Maybe a blue blood level of recruiting gives him more of a floor.
Not an Oats hater and I certainly could see him being the coach at UK one day. For the sake of discussion....Bama is currently 24-11 and got their butts kicked by UK earlier in the year and most recently Florida in the SEC tournament. What were your thoughts of Oats then? If he loses in the Elite 8 does he fall from grace again?Oats haters will be grasping at straws to spin this.

I wondered if that is where you were going. Neither Arky or A&M was in the SEC at the time and neither Eddie or Tubby was fired. That is why I was confused.
