Alabama's Nate Oats on Brandon Miller's Pat-Down Intro: 'I Dropped the Ball On It'

Alabama head coach Nate Oats said he "dropped the ball" regarding Brandon Miller's pregame introduction before the Crimson Tide's 86-83 victory over Arkansas.

"That situation is on me," Oats told reporters Tuesday. "We addressed as a team and as soon as I brought it up to them, they immediately understood how it could be interpreted and we all felt awful about it. They explained to me that it's like when TSA checks you before you get on a plane and now Brandon's cleared for takeoff."

Oats added he should've been more aware as to how Miller's introduction would've been received outside of the team.
