Anthony Grant has reached an agreement with the University of Alabama to become their new head basketball coach. The decision came not long after Billy Donovan decided to remain at Florida (a job Grant coveted). The deal is worth in the neighborhood of $2 million per season. The official announcement is expected in the next few days.
