Don't you think you're saying that out of context? Haven't seen a single person here saying they hoped the team would lose before the Ollie situation turned into a "better to put the dog down than let it suffer" type of thing.
I think Jim Calhoun would have been announced already

The season/team wasn't dead when people started pulling for that. People believed, for sure, that it was a "better to put the dog down than let it suffer" type of thing, but that only became a fact later.
It was a bad look then, it would be a bad look going forward.
You seem to remember the tenor around here a bit differently than I do. What I seem to remember were people simply questioning early in the season whether Ollie was the right guy, and then obviously reacting as the season spiraled out of control.

Those people made those claims about wanting the team to lose verbatim. I responded to actual statements they typed out indicating so.
Are there any such posts of people explicitly saying they want the next coach to fail out of spite you are comfortable sharing with us?
