I don't think he will sue for wrongful termination. Asking for the records of other coaches? This would appear to be a discrimination lawsuit. Surprised no has mentioned that. So this happened under so and so, how was THAT handled.... Who in hear thinks he would not win that....?
Ironically, Miller and Ollie use to go clubbing at Shrines, Vegas and other places. Until the Diallo disaster Miller was the Coach always up for going out in KO’s early HC years compared to Hobbs or Blaney. That’s why this Miller purity BS is tough for me to take. Who’s kidding who?
Let's say Ollie has some dirt on Calhoun and then, let's say, he exposes that dirt to try and win this case. Is he a rat too then?
Would he be a rat? Yes or no?
Know you didn't ask me...but yes...and no. One difference...GM seemed to do it for spite, Ollie is doing it for 10 million, if he does.
For me, spite is a better reason. Ollie actually did something to Miller to warrant revenge. Ollie is doing this for personal greed. If he turns on Calhoun and UConn for money, he would be a rat.
Both could be labeled as "ego protection," though without doubt money holds a far wider positive appeal to posters here, as is reflected in the ongoing comments.
Snakes like rats.
Not really and completely disagree. GM undermined Ollie out of spit and having feelings about Ollie getting the Head coaching job. I’m sure he continued undermining K.O. While also running back to JC to report. It also would surprise me if he were doing something similar reporting to the AD. That is why we got rid of GM among other things. Like on any team you can’t have an assistant coach undermining what you are trying to do whether you agree or not. If you disagree that much then GM should have resigned or kept his mouth shut. This is the crap not getting talked about. This is the kind of stuff that also impacts team chemistry and contributes to disfunction.
Kevin Ollie could shoot a puppy in the head and you'd find an excuse for him.
Come on man! I’ve stated on numerous posts that K.O. is responsible ultimately for the position he is in I’m simply not going to bash the man and keep kicking our UCONN brother when he is down. If this were some regular old smuck I wouldn’t care as much. His mismanagement of his head coaching opportunity at UCONN doesn’t erase the good and joy he has contributed to UCONN nation. We’ve moved on with Hurley and I’m optimistic. There is no telling how long it will be before we are putting up another NC banner. Until then I’ll focus on the good memories and hope we get from Hurley. Try watching our NCAA run from 2014 again. It will make you feel real good. We have Hurley so focus on the job he is going to do for us and also pull for a settlement.
UConn fired Ollie for cause because:
Interesting take on this. At some point a lot more is going to come out so we will see.
You and I have been directly responsive to each other a couple of times, and I find this out of character to your steady statement of preference for settlement. Of course, you owe me nothing, but your last sentence undermines the credibility of what you've written elsewhere.
I had to look back to what I was commenting on to see why you Reply seemed 'off.'
