Interesting article which lays out why Grant was fired after year six. The story starts as follows -
The more they heard Anthony Grant might be coming back, the angrier they got. The more they heard people like Billy Donovan defend him and cast aspersions on the program he inherited, their blood pressure continued to rise.
They were members of the Alabama basketball family, past and present, former players and coaches and current supporters, and they were tired of seeing a Crimson Tide program stuck in the mud.
This implies the school was contemplating having Grant return for a seventh season.
