Alabama head coach Nate Oats released a statement tonight about what he deemed as “unfortunate remarks” he made this morning during a press conference.
“In no way did I intend to downplay the seriousness of this situation or the tragedy of that night,” Oats said. “My prayers continue to go out to Jamea Harris’s family.”
Oats drew heavy criticism this morning when he seemed to downplay the alleged murder of Harris.
