Alabama coach Nick Saban is both loved and hated for his routine, caustic remarks during press conferences and on Tuesday, Saban let it rip once again.

During Crimson Tides’ spring practice press conference, a reporter asked Saban about increased ball-control.

Saban responded to the ball-control question and then moved on to problems with the NCAA.

“We’re going to be more conservative now in ball-control offense,” Saban said. “Where’d that come from? I didn’t say that. Nobody in this building ever said that. So where’d you come up what that? Have a dream about it or what?”

Saban’s full response to the “ball-control” question turned NCAA rant can be viewed below:
