I spent 8yrs coaching high school . & some of the best coaches I have coached against in my career were HS coaches. Some never caught the breaks that I have, but to see 3 (Oats, Hurley & Keatts) former HS Coaches make it to the F4 should serve as an inspiration to every HS Coach!.

That was the real bald genius on our staff @CoachBauman. He had our zone offense dialed up and ready to go. He had that play call ready to get us a huge bucket!!! Adam Bauman is elite!!! I’m so lucky to work with him and learn from him!!!!.
Watch the Alabama bench reaction to this first play. Oats turns around and high-fives Pannone, who called out the set after they recognized the zone. They knew it would work. Great coaching.
