Message: [QUOTE="Sonova, post: 1978751, member: 7513"] What an ignorant statement. You really don't think there are better coaches out there that would take the UConn job? How about I keep it just in New England? I'm not saying that I want any of these guys, but you have to be both blind and ignorant to think that we couldn't do better. Danny Hurley is doing a better job at URI than Ollie is at UConn. Ed Cooley might be a better coach - he's done a pretty nice job at PC with a far more challenging situation. And I think Bill Coen is a terrific coach. Tommy Amaker has been better too. Again, I'm not huge fans of these guys, but at least a couple of them would walk to Storrs for the job. Kevin Ollie is in the process of making the UConn job an easier job to take too - based on this message board, expectations have lowered and the next coach isn't the guy who has to follow Jim Calhoun. As for hoping that he progresses at player development and coaching offense, those are two of the keys to being successful/employed. He's had (going on) 5 years and it's reasonable to think that some of those questions are starting to look like answers. [/QUOTE]
