Rather than being aimed at the hoops coach, I think Saban was probably taking a shot across the bow of any would-be misbehavers on his own team.  The athlete culture at Alabama that gave rise to men's basketball misbehavior could easily be the same athlete culture of the football team, and Saban knows that he needs to get ahead of this.

Harbaugh had the same sentiment, I think, when he declared that "the cure for cancer won't be found after midnight" when declaring some sort of player curfew.

While that may also be true, Saban was clearly taking a shot at Oats. Confirmed yesterday by my very well connected source in Tuscaloosa.

Haha alright.  I'm not sad to see internecine conflict at Alabama.
