Message: [QUOTE="Goat, post: 1967044, member: 3826"] Jim Calhoun had a great first year at Northeastern, but then was a 0.500 coach for the next 6 years. I am completely okay with Kevin Ollie taking more time to fully hit his stride. When he does he has the capacity to be on a trajectory to be the greatest coach in college basketball because he certainly will be one of the greatest recruiters of all time. He is an exemplar of what parents of would be college stars and pro athletes would want for their children after their playing days are over. Further, he cares about his players and identified and recruited players of high character even as he struggled with signing talent. To players, he's been in the league and he'll prove he can get them there. He's certainly smart enough to learn the additional pieces of the puzzle. Ollie's championship was a big deal. A couple of sweet 16 seasons and we are on our way. How can the boneyard dismiss the NC so easily while blaming him for this anomalous season? I don't have a personal relationship with any Insiders at UConn, but I think that Jim Calhoun's probably telling them all to shut up and watch Kevin's team play. There's no one I would rather see coaching the Huskies. [/QUOTE]
