Courant: For UConn Coach Kevin Ollie, Social Media Remains Off Limits During Season

[August_West]

In a way, no. If used responsibly, social media has proven to be a positive force for change in much larger aspects of life. No, people should not fly off the handle all half cocked. But when people gather online with a good message, things CAN change for the better.

Of course it does not always work out well, but it does not mean it can not lead to positive change too.

Offered as an example of the power of social media with no commentary on the results hopefully I can skate by

I had the same reaction when I saw the tweet.

My second reaction was, what the hell is an AP reporter doing at Gampel at 11 P.M.?

he sleeps outside, he cant afford the gas to go to and from his home

Here’s Jalen partying with Celtics on NYE, likes by Jalen and half the team.

The team sucks, this season sucks, but come on, this is cool. It’s New Years Eve, the kid deserved to have fun.

Edit: Not a jab at you @Dream Jobbed 2.0, just putting it out there.

Not saying it isn’t cool just evidence they’re on social media!

From today's article by Jacobs

"Ollie said the other day that he does not participate in social media during the season and, for the sake of his sanity, this is a wise decision. For there have been few words of encouragement on Twitter and fan participation boards." .... ie, Boneyard.

....

"This much is sure: More and more of the UConn fan base, to use an Ollie-ism, are 10 toes in on Ollie being replaced. To use another Ollie-ism, more and more are willing to eschew the escalator and climb the stairs to the highest points of Gampel Pavilion to call for his ouster. In some ways the sparse crowd of 5,065 for this game is the most damning statement of all"
