A day after Alabama player Darius Miles was charged with capital murder, coach Nate Oats addressed the incident with the media
men’s basketball coach Nate Oats expressed his sympathy Monday for the family of Jamea Jonae Harris, the woman who was killed in a shooting early Sunday morning in Tuscaloosa.
Oats said the criminal investigation prevented him from discussing any specifics of the case as they related to Miles, but disclosed that he’s had multiple conversations with Miles’s mother Sunday. A school statement Sunday said that Miles, who was in his third year at Alabama, had been “removed from campus” and was no longer a member of the team.
“Wish we weren’t having to address this situation. But we really have to pull together as a team and be there for each other,” Oats said. “He actually went back home to D.C. to deal with the personal matter,” Oats said Monday. “He’s had multiple issues. They were all completely unrelated to this situation.”
