Has the gag order been lifted?

Have to wonder how Calhoun fits in all this given his connection with Miller. There’s zero way Miller gives up anything without consulting him

Susan Herbst has ruled in favor of Kevin Ollie's dismissal, and the situation is now going to arbitration. #UConn

David Borges‏ @DaveBorges 20m 20 minutes ago
According to #UConn AAUP executive director Michael Bailey, "President Herbst’s action represents the last step in a calculated process to replace Coach Ollie without paying him the amount due to him under his employment agreement with the University of Connecticut."

Ollie case going to arbitration. "All citizens of the state who are concerned about the integrity of the University of Connecticut need to be aware of the unfair, double standard applied to Coach Ollie and should speak out against this blatant inequity" -- AAUP's Michael Bailey.

Not a wise move to turn your back on the person who gave you everything and considered you like family.

He had Ray Allen talk to a recruit on the phone. He’s technically a booster. That’s the violation

Is that legit a rule? No former players can talk to recruits?

I have not been notified the gag order has been lifted. I doubt that it will be until closure of situation.
Three general, nonspecific thoughts based on what’s public now:
1) If one thinks those workouts were less likely to happen if our S&C guy was better - that’s on Travis not Carlos since those violations were in 2015/2016.
2) Miller is a snake and will never get another D1 job. I understand he got fired and saw lots of bad stuff before that - but no one will hire him in D1 now. He won’t be trusted.
3) Ray is right, KO needs R&R and maybe he should bring Michael Bailey with him before his reputation is damaged further.

Regardless of why Miller was terminated the fact he was a “Rat” for the NCAA is really messed up.. Now he really won’t get a job anywhere.. I understand how bitter he is towards Ollie but he also threw the program under the bus.

Glen Miller is in the College Basketball witness protection program in DIII hiding behind JC...

He spilled program secrets for immunity.. And it’s all stuff that other programs do but never ever leak out or have former coaches turn in.

Or Miller bleeds blue, and we all have him to thank.

To each their own...

"Program secrets" should be limited to in-game plans/legal recruiting strategies, not federal crimes/covering up NCAA infractions.
 
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

From the updated article in the link above:

>>Miller told NCAA investigators that he tried to warn Ollie that his California friend Danny Griffin, who was brought in as a non-coaching staff member, was possibly calling recruits illegally. “There was times when I advised Kevin that this was probably not a good thing to do for obvious reasons, and I got a strong impression from him by his conduct and his interactions after that, that he didn't want to hear that from me,” Miller said. “So, you know, it was an environment where, you know, if -- how do you handle that? When you're dealing with somebody who is very strong-minded, who almost is looking down at me.”

“I have a very — 100 percent clean record, but I'm not naive either as to, you know, recruiting and what goes on and those types of things. But after trying to advise him on certain things … and getting the response, sort of the feeling from him that I got, you know, it's — for me to — to report those things if he didn't follow my advice might get him in trouble, sat down for a few games, and it would cost me my job, and I really think in the end it did cost me my job,” Miller said.<<

Smell another civil suit coming but not against UConn...

It sucks. He doesn’t deserve to and won’t get every dime, but he didn’t deserve to get set up, either, which is what this smells like.

It sucks that he put himself in that position, but this doesn’t feel good. The Miller thing really turns my stomach. Imagine what he could say about the Calhoun years?

He saved UConn from KO and threw his own reputation under the bus to do it.
 
I find it pretty interesting, given the violations, that Glen Miller decided to talk in exchange for immunity. The violations outlined don't seem like they would carry any serious sanctions. It's not like Glen Miller was facing a show cause and decided to cooperate.

Would that even be possible? To sue your boss but not employer?

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