A game like today will not spell KO’s demise this season, but if he continues to lose against the ECU, Tulane and Tulsas of the world.... That said, today is a big chance for him and the team to reset the clock.
 
I’m done with having expectations. I now hope that we don’t put on an embarrassing display of completely inept basketball on national TV for the third time in one season. That’s the new bar: don’t become a laughingstock.

That post says so much. We're hoping to be better than ecu, Tulane, and Tulsa!??????
A sport where we won a NC but 4 years ago?

I like UConn as a dominant force. Not the underdog. Don't get me wrong, I like winning better, but this 'hoping to steal a win' crap in between debating whether Ollie has it in him sucks

By how many points will Uconn go down early and at what mark?

I'm saying down by 15 within 10 minutes. It is a constant that Ollie and staff have not solved for.

I'm a WSU fan. Down by 15 in 10 minutes is our pattern. We managed to get down by 18 to Cal, although that took a little over 20 minutes to achieve.

If that's the pattern for both teams, then the first half could be a real battle in an unusual way.

WSU has been bad at defending dribble penetration and has given up a lot of open 3's on pick-n-roll plays and pick-n-pop plays. Watch for open perimeter shooters after UConn runs a high screen from a post player.

How many illegal screens per game do we get called for? A very basic skill.
 
Went to ASU but grew up a husky fan
The energy here is so positive
 
Posted in another thread but meant to post here.

He would be gone already if not for the big buy out...(talk I have heard) uconn is cheap

He's gone but he'll coach out the season. I'm sure feelers are going out to potential candidates in preparation.
 
A lot of emotion right now... I’m sure everyone wants him gone after a loss... everyone wants him here after a win.

Wait until the end of the season.
 
I still contest the Gilbert injury is the achilles heel of KO's demise.

Give him one more season, the makeup of the team next year will be drastically different and far improved.

Not to mention the recruiting losses if KO's canned.

Define the 'everyone' who wants him here after a win? Nowadays those who want him after a win are quite small. I didn't want him hired in the first place and hated how JC forced him on the school.

This is the "wait until next year" mentality that we have heard since 2014. It's not working. Sometimes change for change's sake is required.
 
This is the game that brings the final nail to the coffin? A game we weren’t picked to win when it was scheduled and one we were competitive in for the majority? I too want wins and don’t believe in moral victories, but cmon. You want improvement and got it. You want effort. It was there. Ollie was not glued with that face on the bench. He had a plan.

I'm unequivocally for one more season.

Give him Sid, Akinjo, maybe Gilbert, Jalen back, and all the young guys on the team a year under their belt.

If he doesn't win with that then adios.

Not sure about JA, he'll probably be back (not sure if that's good or bad), but Larrier won't be back. His game is well-suited to the NBA. I think he can contribute at the next level. He has NBA-quality moves.

Then what will be the excuse next year? KO's time has come. I was at the auburn game and saw a coach so lifeless that he has no energy to excite the players. He seems like a coach just going through the motions. If we finish below .500 he will be gone no matter the money. I hope he saves face and accepts a lower buyout.

Unfortunately it's reality. Can't hide from that.

See my 2nd post 2 posts before yours.

Their is no excuse next year, the talent he'll have if he does nothing with it then adios.
 
Next game can we bring him to center court and have him say, "F-I-R-E-D" and we all chant back, "OLLIE, OLLIE, OLLIE." Then AD David Benedict escorts Ollie off the court and we all cheer. This is my dream boys
