Birmingham News Sports podcast: Will Tony Barbee promote basketball in Alabama?
Is this the best Final Four or the worst?
After his introduction as Auburn's new coach in Auburn's new arena, Tony Barbee hit the recruiting trail for the Tigers. (The Birmingham News / Mark Almond)Tony Barbee is settling in and pushing forward after recruits as Auburn's new men's basketball coach. Will he promote basketball in the state like old-school coaches like Sonny Smith and Wimp Sanderson did?
What about Anthony Grant at Alabama? Will he be a success with his low-key personality?
This weekend's Final Four has been called the best ever and the worst. Some critics of college basketball say they want to see more "team" basketball. Well, this is their chance as four teams with no true superstars on the court are playing for the ultimate prize. Will people watch?
UAB's Mike Davis got a shot at two big-time programs when North Carolina State and North Carolina came to Bartow Arena for NIT games. Is it better to play two or three NIT games or to make the NCAA and lose in the first round, like Conference USA champion UTEP did?
Birmingham News columnists Ray Melick and Kevin Scarbinsky take on these topics in this week's podcast.
