UAB Basketball

Former Alabama basketball player and assistant coach Philip Pearson joins Andy Kennedy as an assistant coach for the UAB Blazers. Pearson played at Alabama from 1989 from 1994 for Wimp Sanderson and David Hobbs. He earned the Paul Bryant Student-Athlete of the Year during his time at the Capstone and helped the Tide win back-to-back SEC Tournament Championships.

The new basketball coach of the UAB Blazers, Andy Kenned, joined Inside The Locker Room this morning. Kennedy spoke to Wimp and Barry Sanderson about his approach to recruiting to UAB and how special it is for him to return to a university that he played and coached at previously.
