Crimson Tide forward is a gifted player on a talented basketball team. And the clarity ends there.
, a development Alabama Coach Nate Oats said is necessary because, “If you guys saw some of what I’ve seen sent his way, I think you would understand why that’s the case.”and that Miller isn’t being charged with a crime or pursued as a suspect. “I never lose sight of the fact that a family has lost one of their loved ones that night,” Miller said this month.He has not, however, delved publicly into what transpired when Harris was killed.
On Friday, Oats spoke measuredly and haltingly about how Miller has handled himself since that night — and since police publicly alleged that he was at the scene of Harris’s death.“He’s a really good kid that I think’s done a really good job of handling a heartbreaking situation that we all know is very tough,” Oats said. “So, you know, we just see him show his mental toughness throughout the year. I think we’ve all seen it.
“Just tell him to keep his head up,” said forward Noah Gurley, standing at Miller’s side. “ … We’re here to support him.”Had the events of Jan. 15 not occurred or had Miller not been alleged to drive the car that carried the gun, Alabama’s basketball would be the story. The Crimson Tide is uber-talented and deep as the Pacific. Maryland Coach Kevin Willard called Alabama the most talented college team since those coached by his former boss, Rick Pitino, at Kentucky in the mid-1990s.
“You’re not going to sit there and say, ‘Okay, we’re going to pressure him and make him dribble,’ ” Willard said. “He can dribble. He makes plays, and he’s unselfish.”
