Nate Oats and the Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball program has completed its coaching staff for the 2024-25 season by hiring Detroit Pistons assistant Brian Adams. The veteran coach will replace Austin Claunch who left the Crimson Tide this offseason to become the head coach at UTSA.

Adams has spent time as a coach in college, the NBA, and overseas and joined the Pistons halfway through last season. Adams most notably worked as an assistant for Doc Rivers with the Philadelphia 76ers 2020-23.

Adams will join Preston Murphy and Ryan Pannone on Oats’ staff in Tuscaloosa. With the addition of Adams, Coach Oats now has two assistant coaches with NBA experience.

ESPN NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski was the first to report on the hire.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to provide updates on the Alabama men’s basketball team throughout the offseason.
