Nick Saban clarified his now-infamous “wrong place, wrong time” comment from earlier this week, telling reporters Thursday that he didn’t mean it as a jab at Nate Oats or the Alabama basketball program.
During a press conference Monday previewing spring football practice, Saban addressed the recent arrest of freshman defensive back Tony Mitchell. He“there’s no such thing as being in the wrong place at the wrong time,” an eerily similar phrasing to one Oats made last month in defense of basketball star Brandon Miller.
Saban spoke with reporters at Alabama’s Pro Day Thursday. When asked to clarify his “wrong place, wrong time” comment, the Alabama football coach noted that any similarity between his words and those used by Oats was unintentional. “There’s nothing to clarify,” Saban said. “I don’t watch basketball coaches’ press conferences. I haven’t watched basketball coaches’ press conferences in … how many years have I been coaching? You know? Never watched one. Never listened to what other people say.
“That was strictly about our program and what we do. It had nothing to do with anybody else. I don’t make any comments about anybody else. We hope the basketball team does really, really well.”
