The 5-foot guard had successfully returned from a torn ACL to prove he could play at a high level again. Soon, he earned a UAB scholarship offer. I offered him immediately, they won state and he committed. The connection was immediate for Haase and point guard when Nick made his official visit. One year after his father was hired at UAB , Nick would be joining him. The Norton family is one blessed with great basketball abilities and smarts.

Allie scored 24 in Truman State's exhibition win over Randy's Blazers last season. But with Randy coaching at Illinois State and then Missouri, it was hard for him to see his oldest three children play basketball that much while they were in college.

Perhaps that makes it more special that Nick, who was once committed to Creighton before backing off, is in a place where the two can see each other almost daily. After that, Nick and Claire made the transition to Birmingham. I was really blessed to be able to do that.

When this opportunity came, I just went after it. Mackin had never met Norton until the Final Four in New Orleans earlier this month, and there Norton interviewed with Mackin and senior associate athletics director Derita Ratcliffe. UAB women's basketball players look on as head coach Randy Norton is introduced. It was difficult. The staff that I left, I worked with Robin for 10 years and we were friends for 10 years before that.

Everybody that touches our program, I want it to be a great relationship with. Both Mackin and Norton remember playing each other's respective clubs in the summer league. Mackin promised he'd go back and look up if he faced Norton. Norton already had his answer. Norton's introductory press conference had people remembering a similar press conference a year ago, when Mackin hired Jerod Haase as the men's head coach at UAB. Norton mentioned growing the fan base, impacting players lives, pressure defense, outworking opponents, secondary breaks and re-recruiting current players all over again.

He also mentioned how he studied Dean Smith, another coach Haase has learned from. I'm just really ready to get on the court with him and see what it's all about.
