Alabama football coach Nick Saban says nothing to clarify about 'wrong place, wrong time' remark

Alabama football coach Nick Saban says he wasn't referencing the school's basketball program when he remarked, "there's no such thing as being in the wrong place at the wrong time."

And Crimson Tide men's basketball coach Nate Oats didn't take it that way, either.

Saban had used that phrase on Monday to explain why he was suspending defensive back Tony Mitchell after his arrest on a drug charge.

Oats had used the phrase "wrong spot at the wrong time" when describing why he wasn't suspending Alabama star Brandon Miller after police testified that he transported the gun that had been used in a shooting that killed Jamea Harris.
