Alabama may get there soon. This is Avery Johnson's first year as the basketball coach, and he is a former NBA coach of the year and took the Mavericks to the NBA finals. Bama is actually one of the 6 finalists for Marques Bolden.
North Carolina ought to be considered. Of course they have Roy Williams for basketball, and Larry Fedora just signed a 7 year contract extension and has the Tar Heels ranked at #10 losing to Clemson in the ACC championship football game where the refs made the bad call on the onside kick robbing them of a chance for the upset.
