I still expect Ollie out at the end of the year. The AD wants him out, players will leave regardless of if he stays or goes, he can barely face the media, and the fans are turning on him.

Yes it’s a lot of money, no it will not come from the school’s budget, but I expect it to get done nonetheless.

I respect everyone’s opinion whether they want Ollie here or don’t think we’ll find the money, but I’ve heard the AD is trying to fund the buyout and we’ve seen him give zero support to Ollie publicly. ESPN and other CBB analysts have been using Ollie and UConn as a punching bag. Long term losses keep on expanding with KO here. This is speculation on my part, but the bridge is too burnt. Time to take a haymaker via the sunk cost.

I’ve beat this point to death, but there is also rarely going to be a year where you have two talents like Wilson and Gilbert who virtually have to stay, or face missing multiple consecutive years of live action. Set the next coach up with an opportunity to work with talent right away.
