Did Kevin Ollie outcoach Jay Wright?

The last 28 minutes of that he did a terrific job ESPECIALLY after napier went out with 2 fouls. Maybe Jay Wright should stop worrying so much about his DOVE commericals and focus on making some adjustments. I'm happy for Kevin Ollie though, seems he got a lot of heat in both those Ulouisville blowouts.

I don't know if he "outcoached" Jay Wright but he certainly made a number of very good in game decisions which Jay didn't have an answer for. Most notably was simply pushing their shooters just a hair further out of the comfort zone. I think though some other things happened like the two flagrants which I think also had a lot to do with making them a jump shooting team because I think they really thought twice about bringing it inside.

Not to take anything away from KO, but he does have Karl Hobbs sitting next to him, someone who understands the collegiate game and has been in the dance before as a head coach.
KO is a good coach now, especially considering the experience level, and I expect him to get better and better.
UConn is blessed to have him.
