Message: [QUOTE="willie99, post: 2553417, member: 192"] Most people who talk men's basketball with me ask me about Ollie and when do I think he should be or might be fired. I say the same things I say on this board, the last two years have hurt by Hamilton and injuries and transfers after the reset. It's hard to know where we'd be otherwise, so I give him this year and next. We have good young talent on this roster, talent sitting on the bench and waiting to play, and talent arriving next season. We need to give him an opportunity to see what he can do with a healthy and complete roster with a little more depth available to him. I don't believe firing Ollie now is the best option for the program. If they ask about any specific game, I certainly don't pretend there's a game they won't lose, I'm just hoping for the best this year. Without Gilbert AND without Larrier being a stud, this team is simply lacking enough talent to compete day in and day out, too many holes to fill. I also don't see how either Adams or Larrier are going pro next year, anywhere. Not unless they finish like Caron did in 2002 or MSG did in 2004. Conversely, they can both change to pro status immensely by playing on a team with more talent and more options around there next year. [/QUOTE]
