It depends on how you value outcome and intention. Glenn did not intend to save UConn.
Says who? You? Don’t be like Chief.

Just woke up to the news here in Europe. I guess it’s good news from the standpoint of the program, if we are not facing punishment. But I can’t help but feel bad for KO. What a mess he is in. He was way over his head being a HC at a major program. Never should have happened in the first place. But it did. Add to it his problems with his ex, man I would not want to be in his shoes right now.
When I feel sympathy churn a little toward KO I immediately think of the term you used...that scorched Earth tactic KO utilized.Sympathy? Not me. He played a scorched earth hand, and now looks the fool. His wounds are entirely self inflicted.
The show cause is no big deal if he plans on working in the NBA. Right? I doubt he walks away with zero. I’m guessing 3/4 million. How would you like that if you were accused of being terrible at your job?
If Danny Glover officially makes allegations against GM - that might mess up Calhoun’s plans. Trying to recall if GM had a rat type immunity deal with the NCAA?
Not sure whether you have to lay that at the feet of his counsel, or perhaps the hybrid representation of counsel and the union. But it is entirely possible that they gave KO good advice and he let his emotions overwhelm his better judgement.Sympathy? Not me. He played a scorched earth hand, and now looks the fool.

He couldn't have had anything to do with it. I've heard he and "Susielax" are the worst ever at their respective positions.Where are all the kudos for AD Dave? Looks like he got rid of a program-killing coach without paying the prohibitive buyout while replacing him with the new coach we needed.
Not gonna happen. He's too old for this ****.

So GM brought up the alleged $30k payoff to save the University not because he was bitter.Says who? You? Don’t be like Chief.
So JC say "WTF Glenn..." when he found out his testimony?So GM brought up the alleged $30k payoff to save the University not because he was bitter.
GM is supposed to stand by and watch KO drive us straight into another NCAA scandal, because nobody likes a rat? The latest story just provides more evidence to me how stupid KO and his buddies actually are.So GM brought up the alleged $30k payoff to save the University not because he was bitter.

Maybe Miller should have quit or went to admin before he got fired. After just seems like revenge. I'm glad KO is gone because he wasn't getting the job done but I would have liked to see a better end for himGM is supposed to stand by and watch KO drive us straight into another NCAA scandal, because nobody likes a rat?

You bring up perfectly valid points. However, as someone who deals daily with lawyers, I always keep in mind;Not sure whether you have to lay that at the feet of his counsel, or perhaps the hybrid representation of counsel and the union. But it is entirely possible that they gave KO good advice and he let his emotions overwhelm his better judgement.
I think I'm more with Fishy on this. KO was a good player, ambassador and a HC who got us another championship before it all went to [feces]. He definitely overplayed his hand, which, as I've noted previously, was strongest before his counsel started the mudfest. I'm sure he'll land on his feet, though it's not he's struggling for lunch money now. I wish him the best and I look forward to when he's ready to rejoin the family.
Somebody had to get Glen out of his bitter funk after literally NO ONE had any interest in hiring him. He had a sense of entitlement that was truly amazing.So JC say "WTF Glenn..." when he found out his testimony?
I’m convinced GM told you to stop hanging around the program.Somebody had to get Glen out of his bitter funk after literally NO ONE had any interest in hiring him. He had a sense of entitlement that was truly amazing.
Given KO’s issues and capability of denial - it was really scary that these two dudes were steering the ship. No wonder it hit an iceberg.
If Danny Griffin officially makes allegations against GM - that might mess up Calhoun’s plans. Trying to recall if GM had a rat type immunity deal with the NCAA?
"It is not a surprise that the Notice of Allegations mimics the University of Connecticut's position in the arbitration as there is every reason to believe that the NCAA would support its member," Jacques Parenteau, Ollie's attorney, said in a statement.
Ollie's attorney needs to stop with the statements meant to sway public opinion. It's in an arbiter's hands now.
he makes it abundantly clear when he has a personal grudge against someone. see his posts about Crocker on the football board.I’m convinced GM told you to stop hanging around the program.
I would not be particularly concerned if I was Miller.
Reading through Griffin's list of "violations", I didn't see any.
He seems to think Miller asking him for phone numbers is a violation.
And I don't understand why anyone is mad at Miller....you understand that he was being interviewed by the NCAA, the organization that could end his career if they decided he didn't cooperate with them? If Ollie was going off the rails, I'm glad it came out when it did, because it would have gotten much, much worse.
