Nate Oats is steering Alabama through the best and most scrutinized season in Crimson Tide history.The former high school coach and math teacher seems to have found the right equation for success on the court, twice cutting down nets to celebrate titles and leading the Crimson Tide to the No. 1 overall NCAA Tournament seed.Oats’ biggest challenges and most-questioned decisions have come off the court, where critics have piled on even as the wins piled up.There’s no coaching handbook on how to handle one of your players getting charged with capital murder in midseason while two others were involved, including one of college basketball’s biggest stars in AP All-America freshman Brandon Miller. Oats is not second-guessing his decision to keep playing Miller and Jaden Bradley.“The fact never changed that we were going by what the police told us, that they were cooperating witnesses,” the 48-year-old Oats told The Associated Press in an interview this week “So based on everything we know...

US Rep. Santos files paperwork for possible reelection bid

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 01:52:45 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. Rep. George Santos filed paperwork Tuesday indicating his intent to run for reelection, even as he faces calls to resign amid ongoing criminal and ethics investigations into lies he told while running for office.The filing with the Federal Election Commission does not necessarily mean that Santos will run for a second term, but it allows his campaign committees to continue raising money, some of which could be used to pay future legal bills. Money he raises could also be used to repay more than $700,000 that he claimed to have loaned his campaign.The New York Republican has admitted to lying about having Jewish ancestry, a Wall Street background, college degrees and a history as a star volleyball player.
