Without a miracle full court heave we're looking at 3 straight seasons missing the tourney. Can you really be that confident that everything has been peaches and the last 3 seasons has been par for the course for a 4 time championship program?

I'm sorry to inform...as others have said....you premise is wrong, we make the tourney last year with or without the shot from JA.

You sound balanced


That crappy coach did something boeheim, Self, Miller and Crean could not. Run neck and neck with Kentucky for an Uber elite recruit

Not to mention win a national championship in his first two years.

We can know. Absolutely. Tulsa not only had a worse record, and went out of the tourney without a win, but also a much worse RPI. People like you are going all out on this to put Ollie in the worst light possible. I mean, he can't develop players, only did it with Calhoun's guys, wouldn't have made tourney without miracle shot.

When people call you on these points, it's like you don't even hear them.

When did I say anything about Ollie? Please quote me you pretentious , I'd love to see it. I'm disappointed in the last 3 seasons, sue me.

Obvioulsy we can't know what would have happened had we lost to Cincy but can you seriously sit there and say the last 3 seasons have been on par with our programs standards? I mean you literally are using a second round exit and 2 seasons of watching the tourney on TV as your argument that everything is fine.

The last three years are unprecedented in UConn history for also having to deal with the not-so-insignificant consequences of recruiting restrictions and conference realignment.

It's absolutely unfair to lay the blame for unmet expectations completely on Ollie given that context. If you still insist on doing so, I would be forced to question your judgement in a more general sense.

Excuse you? I dislike our coach and you're freaking out. I understand you're upset about something but maybe don't take it on the boneyarders.

When did I blame Ollie? Please find where I said anything about him in that post.

What the hell are you talking about if not Ollie?

Lighten up, Francis.

I already posted soon after it that I didn't realize it would only be for next year, and I still stand by saying that I think it's a mistake when kids do this sort of thing. Take your officials. Speak with your family and people you trust in your life. Then make the decision that you think is right for you. I don't like the spectacle of it all, but I guess that's just the way of things now. I hope you are now less baffled, but if you aren't, I'm indifferent...

You're too pessimistic Dan. Time for a new tag line: Predicting 100% commitments on all UConn basketball offers since 2017!
 
Great now it's an Ollie argument thread. Really great day to be padding this thread with more non-information guys.

It's worse than that. You wonder why players would come to UConn to play for Ollie. Disliking someone is one thing. This is another.

If we're playing the "what if" game then UConn was 2 missed corner threes away from making the tournament the year before.
 
I propose we keep this thread alive as the go to place to dump on UConn to keep our dirty laundry hidden from the outside world.

Sorry that upset you. I think he's a terrible coach. I guess we are watching different teams. I see one of the worst coaching performances I've ever seen.

Another bad sign. In hami's last commitment post on instagram. Not m one single UCONN player or coach liked it..

Not everything has to be pinned on Ollie despite your obsession with stuffing that narrative down my throat. Obviously there are circumstances that have lead to the last 3 seasons being a disappointment but I can't actually believe that you can sit there and tell me this team has lived up to the expectations of a 4 time national champion. That was my premise, maybe you got into an argument with another poster over Ollie and that's fine I don't care but I'm not in that camp who blames all of the woes on him.

UConn's only 9 wins away from being 14-0 this year too. And then we'd be in the national title conversation

Well, that's good to know. In the context of this thread, it could be easily construed that you were in UofCT2009's camp.
