Calhoun Quotes on Hurley

[AdamaNation]

I am drunk at a bar in RDU, this is probably the best laugh I have had all week. Thank you.

I was sober at a bar near RDU. Same result.

I guess the reporters who have been covering this could be wrong, but I've seen this reported consistently in one form or another from the start:

The dispute began on March 10, two days after UConn finished its second consecutive losing season under Ollie and announced it was initiating disciplinary procedure to terminate his employment for “just cause.” The school cited an ongoing NCAA investigation into the program.

This was the school's full statement when Ollie was fired, so I don't think that bolded sentence has been confirmed by the school as the reason for Ollie being let go. The school has cited an ongoing NCAA investigation into the program, but didn't mention that as the just cause.

“The University of Connecticut has initiated disciplinary procedures to terminate the employment of Head Men’s Basketball Coach Kevin Ollie for just cause. The University will have no further comment on the matter until the completion of both the University’s disciplinary process and the ongoing NCAA investigation.”

 

[Mr. French]

Lawyers on this board just loving this topic.

Long story short, I agree with this.

 

[Mr. French]

Same here.

Of course I never posted on the Boneyard while at work so I never had to deduct my salary for that reason. What’s the over/under that the lawyers in this thread claim their time here as billable to their clients?

Who needs Westlaw when you the ‘yard for research?

And here is just cause definition:
View attachment 31442
This is supplemented by KO's contract (NCAA violation language.)

I mean if they have proof of the rumors we’ve heard of KO partying with players, that’s gotta fit in to cause, being clearly unprofessional, probably unethical, and potentially illegal

Define "partying with players'

were the ripping Dabs?

I can’t, I have at best third hand knowledge. Ask @JMick and a couple others who communicated the rumors here.

Lots of lawyers on this board. I wonder what that says about us.

Some of us are smart enough not to be in private practice

That tidbit is 2nd hand. As far as I was told, all were of legal age and I never heard any mention of drugs. Still not a great look if true

Thanks for the PM

But yeah like I said besides the legality of it, it’s unprofessional and unethical

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

I won't wade into the just cause argument. But I'm not worried about KO's firing affecting the "family" and the alums very much. Sure, KO is very well-liked by the former players, but those same former players have MUCH more love for Calhoun. If Calhoun is on board with UConn's handling of this situation, one phone call from him to any distressed former player should promptly rectify those concerns.

That one was definitely in the rumor category, too. It didn't get mentioned often when people were talking about what was happening. It seems like there were a lot of things which on their own that might not have been a huge deal but coupled with the sheer number other things it became a problem.

 

[intlzncster]

So if this plays out the way you describe, KO will be money grabbing his way out of "the family", at least in my eyes. If he genuinely was the great, dedicated, team first guy, he would admit to doing a crappy job and negotiate a settlement. In my book, and I've backed this up in my career multiple times when I've made mistakes, if you don't do your job as expected, you don't get paid, or you don't get paid as much. Between his deteriorating relationship with Calhoun and now the money grab, his true character may be showing.

You want him to fall on the sword out of some sense of honor and duty? Screw that. Not a single one of the former players will care if he's trying to get his money. Who cares if the fans are on your side? They don't pay the bills.

Smh at the second hand crap that’s allowed here. It has been spoken as Gospel truth by the same people for months, and repeated as such by countless others, and now confirmed to be car wash material.

There’s a reason for the hearsay rule.

The “second hand crap” explains too much of the stuff the public can observe to be just “crap.”

Putting the first two in with the last may be the biggest insult dished out on here in a while.

Yes, sweet burn.

I'm liking the Stain and JMick alliance. It explains a lot of the butt hurt you guys still have about KO, and confirms that youth is wasted on the young.

We prefer any and all insulting be shared with the rest of us. We like the entertainment.

He somehow left javjudah and gtcam out of it though.

Again, nobody actually involved in the case has seriously challenged the actual content of cause.

While some of it certainly has not been confirmed, there's a lot of stuff that was 'behind the veil' that is now public knowledge (one simple example being KO's very real rift with JC). It is a win some, lose some game.

I’m not part of any alliance. JMick and I get along well and see eye to eye on a good amount of things, but the people you’d put in his “alliance” dislike me so much they rant about me on other social media outlets. I’m a maverick.
