Whatever Ollie is doing is not working. He has surrounded himself with Yes men who either think what they're doing is sound or they don't have the balls to tell him otherwise. What makes you think he'll change anything unless the AD set him straight. Ollie has ZERO momentum on the recruiting trail coming off a disastrous season. Point blank I'd tell him you're not in a position to spend as much time as you are on 5 star recruits. Aim lower, get some momentum, building blocks in the form of 3stars and then work up from there. I don't think that is "crazy"

"He's surrounded himself with Yes men" is exactly the type of thing that becomes "he has great chemistry on the staff" when things are going well. I've re-hashed the Miller situation a billion times, and I liked him, but ultimately, the head coach needs to surround himself with guys that are similar to him philosophically. The idea that the assistant coaches need to be bringing in radically different ideas is overrated. You don't want complete overlap, but you also want them preaching from the same bible.

Whoa. Over-react much? He had one bad season. He had one bad summer. Give the guy a break. This team is going to be good this yr. Winning will solve most of the issues. We seem to be in a good place for 2018 recruiting.

Hes not a good enough coach to bring three star recruits and win. The KO defenders say his special ability is recruiting so if he just gets three star recruits there is no use for KO at UConn.

So...a conference championship and an NCAA tournament win isn't a good season? Man...hard to please some people.

The last 3yrs haven't been horrible and it hasn't been great. Like everything it lies somewhere in the middle. We've been extremely mediocre and mediocre is like warm coffee it doesn't sell well. Recruits either want to join a power house hami\UK or they want to be the savior mathis\Rutgers

Well, it is self-inflicted but wasn't it Ollie that stated "We're UCONN, we chase National Championships"?

Don't think the last 3 years and his statement are aligned properly.
