Alabama men’s basketball coach Nate Oats addressed media on Wednesday after the Crimson Tide’s overtime win against South Carolina. The game was hardly the focal point of his postgame address however, as Oats discussed and apologized for his recent comments regarding the murder investigation involving former player Darius Miles and star Brandon Miller’s involvement in the investigation.
Oats issued an apology for his previous comments, stating his regret over what he called a "poor choice of words."
“I’m not here to make excuses, but I want to make it clear I didn’t have the details from the hearing that morning since I was coming straight from practice,” Oats said on Wednesday evening. “I used a poor choice of words, making it appear I wasn’t taking this tragic situation seriously, which we have throughout the course of it. I sincerely apologize for that.”
