Message: [QUOTE="Javjudah, post: 2225385, member: 8176"] I am a die hard Uconn Fan for almost 30 years. I decided to join this forum to give my 2 cents. Lstudfellow is on the right path with his observation in my opinion. Coach Jim Calhoun is the Greatest college coach and father figure to his players in opinion. I think most of you are forgetting that the last few years of Coach Calhoun tenure was full of Negative recruiting. Coaches were using his health, age, APR, and the ban against him. I remember vividly having this discussion with Coach Jay Wright about this. We didn't had the same quantity of quality recruits his last few years. Deandre Daniels and Andre Drummond was pure luck. We were hoping Omar Calhoun didn't de-commit. Most of us was wondering then how did we come to settle for a Phil Nolan (no pun intended). Coach Ollie was the best person for the the job following coach Calhoun. Miraculously he won a Chamionship with the roster he had. He is still paying the price for the last few years of the greatest college coach of all time era. [/QUOTE]
