The Avery Johnson Era tips-off
The Alabama Crimson Tide men's basketball team is about to begin an exciting new era under the infectiously charismatic Avery Johnson, as the Kennesaw State Owls come to Tuscaloosa. While all of the excitement in the building will be focused on the new man representing the Tide, the Owls will be debuting their own brand new coach, Al Skinner, who comes in with an exciting resume of his own. Skinner, the former National Coach on the Year in 2001, coached at Boston College from 1997-2010. He's the winningest coach in Boston College's program history, in fact, having guided the Eagles to seven NCAA Tournament appearances.
