For all of you saying that Gottfried was a good coach, you should probably rethink your reasoning. Gottfried is 198-123 in 11 seasons and his teams have been on a downward spiral for the last few seasons. Not suprising to me, good recruiter, bad coach. With all the high school talent that is in Alabama, all they need is a good coach, they can land the talent, Gottfried done less with more than any other coach in the SEC.

Although you have a point, in his defense, Bama did goto the NCAA tournament 5 times during those 11 years, including 1 elite 8 appearance and 2 appearances in the 2nd round.

Alabama just isn't a basketball school. The entire SEC West is terrible every year, because they all are football schools and don't care much about their basketball programs.
