How, exactly, should people feel about the Crimson Tide and their All-America freshman, Brandon Miller? As Alabama begins play in the NCAA Tournament, the volume on this question will only grow louder, writes KyleTucker_ATH.
Back in the Alabama locker room, a university lawyer and PR specialist both hovered with furrowed brows while, in a move that they had advised against, Oats spoke toabout what the last few weeks have been like and the strange, uncomfortable weeks that lie ahead. He knows what is coming.“The longer we keep winning, the more questions you’re going to be asked,” he said. “But I’ve kind of approached it this way with the team: We all know who we are in this room. We’re a really good group of guys.
“What I said at the first press conference, when it came out Brandon was there, I wish I would’ve chosen my words better. ‘Wrong place, wrong time’ was obviously not the correct wording, because I feel like we’ve taken this very seriously the whole time,” Oats told. “The first time I met with the team, it was hard, just because Darius was their teammate, so you knew they cared about him. But we knew, and I made the point: There’s one victim. It’s the woman and her family.
“You’ve got to manage that while still trying to be a coach,” Oats said. “You’ve got basketball being so far down the list from what’s really important — but you still have to coach basketball. There’s no manual for that.” “I had a kid live with me for two years whose father was shot and killed,” Oats said. “He had a gun pulled on him in an argument. So he was bouncing around from house to house. He was a player I had kicked off the team as a junior. He wasn’t even on the team. But he needed a place to stay, his girlfriend told me, and he moved in with me. So I have had to deal with gun violence. My background is a lot different than maybe what some other coaches are.
At least this week in Nashville, which is home for Miller, “I knew I was going to be comfortable,” he said Friday while tucked into his locker stall, away from the podium but still sticking to the script any time he was asked about the murder case.
