This is great. Thanks coach
That 87 team was simply unbelievable and great. They and the 1976 team in my mind go down as the two best teams in Alabama history. No disrespect to this season's incredible run or Coach Mark's 2004 amazing run. Just my honest and humble opinion. All the teams are truly appreciated in my life as a fan. Keep Rolling Tide.
Only time i had season tickets when you and Jim Farmer were the guards extraordinary.
Great interview what a freaking legend. I would love to know about the plaid jackets he used to wear. I remember those like it was yesterday. And If you bring him on again I would love to hear his opinion about the NCAA and if he was coaching now how he would handle NIL and the way that the game has changed.
Those 80s teams you were on and Coach Sanderson led were what started my love for basketball. I enjoyed watching the teams you coached as well. Just found your channel. Really enjoying it.
