Message: [QUOTE="Kitaman, post: 2650819, member: 67"] All the players are shell shocked. Ollie brought them in and now he is suddenly gone. Some see better opportunity (fresh slate) others see uncertainty. I guess its like losing your father and you sit down in front of your 'step father' as he talks about how he will be the head of the family now. Remember their 'father' seemingly appeared lenient allowing kids a lot of freedom on the court. Perhaps Hurley is more of a disciplinarian requiring accountability. That is a huge adjustment for a kid coming from Ollie's coaching style. I won't read anything into their reactions; like Jalen said, they are all processing this enormous change in their lives. Its neither positive or negative, its one of life's curve-balls. Its a very delicate situation right now in Storrs and in many cases very personal. Just saying the tree is shaking vigorously lets see how strong and attached the branches really are. We know the UConn trunk is solid along with the bedrock it sits on. This fan expects us to be stronger and better when the storm is over. [/QUOTE]
