Message: [QUOTE="USNA90, post: 2515308, member: 6230"] I don’t think a coach should be retained out of concern that the team (a bad one at that) could lose some current/incoming players when he leaves. Does anyone think UConn won’t lose players or recruits if Ollie gets fired after next year? Players are always going to leave, and there’s never a good time to fire a coach, so it might as well happen sooner rather than later so the rebuild can start. Nobody expected to be in a UConn uniform next year is going to turn things around - and if Larrier and Adams truly are gone, the 2016-2017 team will be a fond memory compared to next year’s team. Who on next year’s roster is worth keeping, to the point that UConn should be willing to gamble with the future of the program? Heck, the new coach could bring some of his recruits over, so it might not be a total loss anyways. [/QUOTE]
