Has the gag order been lifted?

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.

Pretty sure everyone would agree that the Allen infraction is much ado about nothing. The trip to Atlanta with an outside trainer is a whole other story.

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.

If you think the Atlanta trip is a big violation - you should spend some time around a major college basketball program.

Maybe we can go back and see who thought the penalty for Kirk King was fair.

If anything I think the school is being kind to him.

Yeah that’s because you are mad at him because the team sucked.

Cheer on an athletic department that pays someone to coach another team and employ a rat.

Then pretend that Calhoun while employed by another school didn’t sanction said rat potentially damaging UConn.

I get it Ollie sucked - but you are cheering on snakes in order to save the school some amount of money that doesn’t matter.

Calhoun created the situation - got jealous that there was success beyond him and has acted like a 9 year old who can’t have a toy for 3 years.

If you are cool cheering for that to save a few dollars - that’s great. I’ll pass on pretending they aren’t duplicitious backstabbers.

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.

Looks like he came to KO with concerns about shady stuff KO had going on in his program, and I’m guessing his concerns were dismissed.

No I don’t think he’s some UConn messiah. But his actions did save UConn from KO. No arguing that.

Why do you think he “became a rat”?
 
One person comes off looking terrible here and that’s Miller. And I would argue that Jim Calhoun comes off as the second worst.

Kevin Ollie’s tenure turned into a dumpster fire. But the allegations against him happen at every program. And I would guess happened at UCONN before he took over.

If you cheat, you better win. And if your off-court actions hurt your job performance, but your employer doesn't bring that up publicly, then they're doing you a solid.

All expenses paid trips to camps in the offseason is not typical for any school.

Stop you are being a clown. This isn’t cheating. This is 1,300 pages and a highlight is a phone call from Ray Allen.

You are a smart kid - don’t be a fool - if Glen Miller ratted out Ollie with this penny ante nonsense after a trip to the Final Four you’d demand him burned at the stake.
 
Glenn Miller was granted immunity from what exactly? Facing violations at a DIII program?

UConn really put the screws here to KO. It's not about what anyone deserves, but rather what was written in the contract.

Herbst and the athletic department should be ashamed they signed the deal in the first place, and how they have weasled their way out is pretty shameful.

Let’s put our big boy pants on...

We all know why Ollie got fired and who really cares if GM received immunity. Has no bearing on anything since the violations are minor.

And, I’m okay if arbitration goes in KO’s favor ... but he shouldn’t get a wooden nickel until I’m reimbursed for the past two seasons; including mileage.

It’s tough to be a man, baby!

well the all expenses paid trip to Atlanta is the real highlight. I don't know why you keep ignoring that. who's money was used there?

this report is only the tip of the iceberg compared to all the other things that influenced the decision

Why is working out with Ray Allen bad?

He's considered a booster because of his status as an alum and while I believe he could "drop in" at Gampel while recruits are there it's not allowed to have Ollie set up a call so Ray could give the recruit a sales pitch.
 
Didn't Benedict once hire Bruce Pearl? My God, what a mess. Calhoun created a family bond with players n coaches that's now fractured & embarrassing. Hope this doesn't mess up the Hurley era. Fact is the only folks who really bleed blue are fans. Think any former players ever went to sleep wondering about conference realignment like we do?

Oh the rich single guy chasing tail? Scandalous.

The Atlanta trip is nothing, it’s a technicality that makes people trying to get out of a bad contract excited. More serious violations happen on a weekend in September in every P5 program in the country.

Maybe you don’t know who Kirk King is - I bet if you search for him here you’ll find lamenting about the penalty for his yuge ‘violation’.

The Calhoun game is still happening. Ray today said he looks forward to sitting down and talking with Dan. The family will be just fine

if you have a contract and one side doesn't hold up their end, it's fair game to terminate the contract. Ollie should be suing his agent for the clause in his contract, not the school.
 
Can someone start a poll asking which you’d prefer - miller keeping his mouth shut and Ollie stays or Miller sings and we have what we have now.
I’d think the answer is lopsided. Unless someone wants to think UConn would have rid themselves of Ollie and written a 10 mil check which I find hard to believe
