RE: Champlin: UAB, head coach Haase have higher expectations for the future
Reading the comments following the article is disturbing. An awful lot of thinly veiled racism is being expressed as though its alright to hate as long as one doesn't use the N___ word. The city has for them become the analog for "those people" they fled by moving "over the mountain" and don't want to build anything in the city they now hate because "our people" are not living there any more. They can't let go of all kinds of references to Larry Langford as though all he did was while Mayor of B'ham.. ALL of his charges were from his time as President of the County Commission and those who bribed him were from "over the mountain". Not one of these writers acknowledged that B'ham came through a terrible recession without bankruptcy and is once again beginning to grow a future.

You posted this on the wrong thread, but I absolutely agree with you. Racism always disturbs me.

You're just now noticing the not so thinly veiled racism of al.com?

Aw hell, MB, we all know that the al.com comments section is a cesspool. Pick at random almost any article about, say, the Birmingham City government or the Board of Education, and read the comments. You'll find plenty of hate and disdain, veiled and thinly veiled racism.
No, it's obviously not everyone over the mountain, but there is plenty of it to be found in the comments, every day.

RE: Champlin: UAB, head coach Haase have higher expectations for the future
Personally, I loved reading:
"I've been used to winning my entire life," Haase said. "As a whole, I thought we did some really good things. At the same time, we didn't win more than we lost. I understand the expectations at UAB are going to be very, very high and my expectations are going to be higher than that. It has been a trying year, but it's also been a year that I've had a group of guys that I've loved being around.
"We're going to be UAB and the best UAB we can be. That's a really smart team, a really tough team, a team that plays at a high rate. Offensively, (a team that's) pushing the basketball and getting really high-quality shots and defensively, being able to pressure people."

It's nice to hear someone who truly sounds like he sees UAB as a place to be, a program to grow with a history to be proud of... not just a paycheck.

During our time in Tulsa, we met some of Haases' family and they said he really loves UAB and the city. They also said that he will work relentlessly to win.

I don't doubt it in the slightest. I think he's going to do a good job, and will bust his butt to win as long as he coaches UAB.
I like the guy.

RE: Champlin: UAB, head coach Haase have higher expectations for the future
It was really cool to listen to his sound clip on Jox the other day.
Basically saying that when he got here, he was behind in regards to recruiting, etc. except now he is ahead.
Not only is he ahead, he & his staff seems to be way way ahead of any other UAB basketball staff that I can recall.
While I don't expect too many commitments between now & the fall, I suspect that when fall comes it will be major reward time for the program.

I hope he's ready when he runs into what Gene Bartow experienced with Buck Johnson and Murry Bartow with Gerald Wallace.

Two wild cards are sophomore K.C. Whitaker, who took a medical redshirt after an ankle injury required three surgeries, and Isiah Jones, who saw his playing time tail off late in the year but did score UAB's final points of the year on a 3-pointer. Jones has a chance to fill in the minutes left behind by the graduating Terence Jones, since he'll have two years of college basketball experience.
Whats the chances both are done? I feel atleast one won't return haven't seen another recruit in 2013 we're recruiting lately unless we flip Jarvis Williams back.

I haven't heard the Gerald Wallace story before. Care to tell it?
