Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 3581442, member: 271"] People seem to have trouble admitting it, but KO was tremendous before his marriage fell apart. For the first time in his life, KO was the King. He didn’t have to scrap and claw just to be somebody and it went to his head. He surely now realizes that he needed to scratch and claw as UConn Head Coach too. For a time, KO the fighter was our coach. During that time he was brilliant, charming and everything you hoped he’d be. He went off the rails and it was over. Still, he is the second best coach in school history, it didn’t have to end this way, but it did. It doesn’t change who he was for a few years. [/QUOTE]
