Freescooter I have read your posts here about the polls and about how you thought Uconn would win 18-20 games and I am not sure whether you just don't remember what you said earlier or whether you just need to justify your not wanting Ollie as coach by deliberately changing expectations. I went back to some of your earlier posts to try to understand. On Oct. 9th talking if Ollie does well there could be a bidding war for him you said "If he takes a 17 win team and wins 18 games, Louisville isn't firing Pitino to hire Ollie...a much more likely scenario, I think is that Ollie wins 15 with a 17 win team and decides to go to the NBA as an assistant rather than "apply" for the job going forward. And for what its worth, I think 17 wins is about what I expect this year, so anything above that and he's extended, anything under that and it is dependent on lots of factors, but under 15 wins and there needs to be major extenuating circumstances for him to be here next year." Then on the Oct. 12th you said "I don't think you can go 5-5, or 6-6 in the non-conference schedule, because that would mean you lost to at least a couple of weak teams, but if they were to struggle early and go for 5-6 over the last 11 with an upset of say, Syracuse, that would say something. If I were to guess, I'd say he does need to win 14-15 games and at least 5-6 Big East games. But Who and When will be more important than How many overall. A solid finish can offset a weak start, and conversely a weak finish will over shadow a strong start." So you had much lower expectations before the season. Now that they have 13 wins and chances are that they will exceed the 15 wins that you thought would be a "more likely scenario" based upon what you expected from Ollie and even have a good chance of passing the 17 wins that you expected, you have now moved the wins to 18-20.
