I wasn't threatening violence, I should have been clearer(for the record it would be no attempt old man, JK). My point was if we were sitting next to each other at a game and i said Ollie sucks or booed i don't believe you would start calling me names. You would ignore me or we would have a civil back and fourth on why we feel the way we do. Isn't that the point of the boards to have different opinions and have a conversation around it without discrediting someone with name calling?
Being 36 i was 100% there as this team entered the level of top echelon teams. It started with the Chris teams in the late 80's to early 90's. In my opinion they entered top teams in 93-94 with Donyell & Ray.
Yes JC had down years but never like this in a much better conference, Ollie is setting new record lows every game in a pathetic conference, not to mention Wagner and North Eastern(healthy team). Good coaches make players better, I have yet to see Ollie do that with anyone. I know JC's don't grow on trees and most likely will never have a coach of that caliber again but that doesn't mean I'm willing to give up and live with Ollie's garbage results
While I appreciate the attempt for a better tone in this one, I will attempt to do the same despite the fact we disagree.
Not sure how you can even say Kevin Ollie has never made a player better and believe what you said? Shabazz Napier, Ryan Boatright, Deandre Daniels, Niels Giffey come to mind immediately. He was an assistant for all and then their head coach as they grew to be NC's. Not sure who else to give that one to although we know Hobbsy, Miller and others had a hand in on it too. JC and Deandre weren't to good together I do remember that.
Ollie's only fault is recruiting players with no intelligence on the court as well as low skill levels. Needs more players who can dribble, pass, shoot and understand the game. Can't teach people who just don't get it, no coach can. They unfortunately have too many of those and this is on KO and the staff, that I will agree with. As you can see above heads up players, fundamentally sound coming in were easy to make successful for KO. Less skilled and intelligent don't make teams a lot better, instead they are anchors as we've seen holding back the team with inconsistency.
Need better players, period. Hell every coach looks better that way!
