Has the gag order been lifted?

Wish we could have settled sooner and avoided all this ugliness.

I get the process, I get why it had to play out this way. But nobody wears this story well.

it's not like it would have stayed under wraps if they settled. It's publicly available information under the FOIA
 
The recruiting timing for all this KO mess couldn’t be worse - now recruits will worry about sanctions.

Doubtful. Nothing egregious enough for a post-season ban, and that's the only sanction recruits care about.

Gross.... It'll actually be kinda interesting to see how long JC even keeps him around...
I can see him introducing GM to parties as, "here's my assistant, the canary."
Or, at a game/practice, "Hey stoolie, grab me a stool!"

He clearly and purposely broke the rules. How anyone could defend that or trash the university for what they’re doing after having the facts now is beyond me. KO can just go away now please

Just stop.

If they won and someone tried to raise this as issues you’d be one of the first to take up a torch.

Show one scintilla of integrity and don’t pretend for a second you wouldn’t.

If somone posted an instagram of some kid talking to Ray Allen on the phone it would get 100 likes.

Set up? LOL. You can complain about someone ratting him out, but he made those decisions. There was no set-up.

Sorry rat out then. Yeah it sounds like technical infractions were committed, but from what has come out so far it looks like the types of things that are only honored in the breach. I mean, again, from what I’ve heard about the JC years this is the equivalent of jaywalking.

And again, not saying he didn’t suck at his job the last two seasons or that he didn’t deserve to be fired. And I am happy we made the change.

I just feel bad juju about doing it this way.

Ollie is not our coach anymore and if that takes Glen miller being a rat I hold no grudge. The amount of money at stake is massive for a school like uconn. The athletic DEPT is gonna pull out all the stops they have to in order to maintain their dwindling athletic budget and save their once proud b-ball program.

You guys are crazy if you think Miller didn't seek Calhoun's advise in this mess. If Miller remains on Calhoun's staff at St Joe's, then I think we all know what JC's recommendation was.

he may have given Calhoun a heads up but this seems more like he did it for the return karma

Do you really think he became a rat to save UConn after being fired by UConn?
I have been very critical of KO but in the coaching fraternity GM stepped over the line. Jim will shelter him in D3 but he will never get back to D1.

But for how long...would think JC would tire of seeing the dude around every day...?
Even though JC had to have coached him...would think think he'd tire of his presence sooner rather than later...

Calhoun loves UCONN. GM is loyal to Calhoun. Not hard to see that GM would save UCONN under JC's guidance.

I like that UConn has someone on the payroll that runs a basketball program at another college where he employs a rat.

You can’t make up what a disaster this athletic program has become.

everything seems to be getting better and here you are saying that everything is worse.

Well they haven’t won yet...

And it is better in that it’s 12 more months of Suzie Lax.

You are cheering on vile people in this thread.

It takes a high level of cognative dissonance to pretend these are ‘violations’ that don’t pale in comparison to things that happened here over the 20 prior years.

So yeah they might save some money - but you got more of a peek at the type of people that ran the AD into the ground.

I’m not hypocrtical enough to pretend a phone call from Ray Allen is a violation - I saw Ray Allen do things that were 5 million times worse.

It seems pretty cut and dry that Ollie committed NCAA violations, but at the same time you know UConn would have his back if he was winning so it still feels a little gross to withhold everything. Firing for just cause is justified though

He was hand-delivered one of the best jobs in all of college basketball, he signed a contract with incredibly broad language for just cause firing, he no longer thought the guy who hand-delivered him the job was useful to him and made sure he knew it, he didn't perform the duties of his job, he acted like a horses arse off the court, and committed acts which breached his contract.

He's made a ton of money and was given an opportunity nobody else with his resume ever would have been given and he blew it. I find it a bit hard to feel sorry for him.

Thanks for the first two years and the hardware, we'll try and forget everything that happened after.
