I'm pretty damn excited about this. Check out his intro press conference damn good stuff.
 
Someone said that Avery Johnson is going to be Alabama's Basketball HC.

Thought that was a strange fit.

yea seems odd at first glance but in reality it's a pretty good fit.
avery will fit well in alabama. he's a southern values type guy.
he's a hard-nosed guy who will coach kids hard.
he'll probably do very well in a somewhat soft SEC(for basketball).
 
Shaka to UT could be really good.
He runs a Florida style AAU friendly system based on full court pressure defense.
If he starts getting the AAU kids that OSU(Smart. Nash et al) has been getting he'll do very well.

Texas has produced enormous levels of talent but it has been mostly shipping out of the state.

I think Shaka could end up with something like Richardson had at Arkansas in a past era.
