About

Alabama Crimson Tide Men's Basketball at Coleman Coliseum

The University of Alabama Crimson Tide played their first organized season of men's basketball in the 1912-1913 season. Between 1912 and 2022, the Tide have won 1,769 games to only 1,088 losses. With a maximum capacity of 15,383, Coleman Coliseum has been Alabama's home since 1968, when it was originally Memorial Coliseum. As a single-level coliseum that creates a wall of noise for opponents, Coleman also hosts the Tide's women's gymnastics team.

Since their first season, Alabama has 10 Sweet Sixteen appearances and one Elite Eight appearance in 24 NCAA Tournaments. In 2023, Alabama had arguably their most prolific season in school history under superstar head coach Nate Oats. On the way to a 31-6 record, the Tide were regular season and conference tournament champions in the SEC and also the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament. Alabama lost in the Sweet 16 to the eventual national runner-up San Diego State University.

Alabama Crimson Tide Men's Basketball History

The University of Alabama Crimson Tide men's basketball team has had seven coaches with at least five years of tenure at the helm. The winningest coach in school history was Wimp Sanderson, who coached the Crimson Tide from 1980-1992. He left Alabama with a 267-119 record, including four SEC Tournament Championships, eight NCAA tournament appearances and five Sweet Sixteens. Sanderson also accumulated three SEC Coach of the Year Awards ('87,'89 and '90) and one National Coach of the Year award in 1987. He resigned from his post to become assistant commissioner of the conference and passed the reins on to David Hobbs, who had been lead assistant for seven years.

Mark Gottfried, who played under Sanderson for three years, was the only other Tide coach to accumulate 200-plus wins as head coach. Gottfried coached from 1998-2009 and is responsible for the Crimson Tide's only Elite Eight appearance in 2004. In 2019, Nate Oats was named head coach. Known for his pace and space style that features an arsenal of 3-point shots, Oats won the SEC regular-season championship in just his second season. In 2023, he led Alabama to a No.1 overall ranking on the way to the school's first 30-win season.

  • Amazing

    by NatJ on 11/28/24Legacy Arena at The BJCC - BirminghamRating: 5 out of 5

    Everything about my experience at the Alabama vs Illinois game was amazing. Staff members were super nice and directed me to where my seat was located. Concession workers were very nice as well. This was my first Alabama game that I attended and it was the best experience ever.

  • Will use again and again.

  • RKT CITY CLASSIC AL CRIMSON TIDE BASKETBALL

    by kpete on 12/26/19Von Braun Center Arena - HuntsvilleRating: 5 out of 5

    This tournament is a Christmas tradition for my family. We have attended every year. We love seeing the Tide play close to our hometown.

  • Great game but VBC issues

    by BamaFan on 12/24/19Von Braun Center Arena - HuntsvilleRating: 3 out of 5

    The game itself was great bit the atmosphere at the VBC was somewhat boring. Sorta wish it could be a bit more of a Alabama home court advantage. Yes. The fans are 90% Crimson but no cheerleaders, no pep band or even BIg Al. You would think Yea Alabama or a few of the cheers could at the very least be played over the VBC PA system? Also. What or Earth was the deal with not only shutting down alcohol sales way too early but food as well? That was ridiculous. I hope to continue to attend the game every year but for the rising price of the ticket...more should be expected in off court atmosphere.

  • Rocket City Classic

    by NTAYLOR2 on 12/24/19Von Braun Center Arena - HuntsvilleRating: 5 out of 5

    We LOVE going to events here. Parking is easy and you don't have to walk miles in and out. This is our 2nd year at the Rocket City Classic and we will continue to come. The only thing we would like to see is some vendors with Alabama souvenirs and apparel available for purchase. We live closer to BJCC in Birmingham, but choose VBC for events over there because of the safety, convenience, and parking.

  • Very Good Basketball Event

    by EDB on 12/24/19Von Braun Center Arena - HuntsvilleRating: 5 out of 5

    I love being able to see my team in my hometown and not have to drive to Tuscaloosa. Entertainment value was very good.
