There is no hypocrisy and people act as if UConn took back the $ that Ollie was paid for the multiple years when he wasn't doing his job which resulted in violations and a deteriorating program that had no chance of success and was in fact driven into certain failure.
In honor of @freescooter, maybe you should just burn in front of your son instead and tell him "This is how we treat ungrateful traitors."
Awesome book!
I am not in my posts referring to JC. I am referring to the overall atmosphere in college sports.
I think about my youthful transgressions. One after another. B and E, drugs, kicked out of school, ect, ect....One day someone reached out to me.....I have lived a pretty good life mentoring, raising responsible kids. Glad I am not defined by my life before adulthood.
Caron is still amazing. I'm gonna put that guy on ignore.
No, it's the absolute truth. I had season tickets that year and could just feel that things were very off. You can chose not to believe me, I really don't care.
That year was so frustrating. We should have been a 2nd weekend tournament team, not a bubble team. Felt like KO didn't use Gibbs, Adams or Miller right.
Other people in the thread are referring to Calhoun.
As I've said before, I don't think anyone other than Ollie gets us the 2014 championship, including 2014 Calhoun. That said, everything that happened afterward falls squarely on Kevin's shoulders.
He will be reinstated as our coach, just to make everyone equally miserable.
Great book. I think there was talk about doing a movie with Micheal B. Jordan as Caron for a while. I'm not sure what happen with that.
Well his representation initially said that Hurley's hiring was invalid because KO wasn't fired until the arbitration was over so...
Maybe co-head coaches?
Kind of a Remember the Titans kind of thing?
Missed the mark again, Karen. Coaches have old heads talk to their current team all the time. I’m talking about 15, 16, 17 year old recruits who don’t currently have any association with UConn. Kids who were still pooping their diapers when Tuff Juice was entering the league. His words on the situation at hand hold little weight to them, I’d wager.
Wrong again - one of the strengths for UConn recruiting is its history in the NCAA and in the NBA. Hurley would be a fool not to use former NBA greats that attended UConn while talking to recruits and their parents. So those UConn greats need to be on the university's side.
What role did Calhoun play in Ollie's divorce?
What is the point to this question. Clearly not what was said here.
Use them how? Caron can’t change the fact that he attended UConn. Hurley can still point to Caron as a former NBA great to come out of the university in his recruiting pitch. Where does Caron being mad at UConn hurt recruiting? Because we’re unlikely to see him sitting court side anytime soon? Big deal.
