TUSCALOOSA | It's been almost impossible to miss Avery Johnson, the new Alabama men's basketball coach, in his tireless efforts to promote the Crimson Tide.
“He's out there kissing babies and everything,” joked senior guard Retin Obasohan at the Crimson Tide's media opportunity at Coleman Coliseum on Monday.
Johnson said he has some “surprises” planned for tonight's Tide Tipoff Event at Coleman Coliseum, too, hinting that it could be anything — except a guest rap with visiting artists Rae Sremmund, the stars of a post-practice concert.
“I'll leave that to the other Avery,” Johnson said, referring to his son, Avery Jr.
