Is Ollie Serious

[vtmikeb]

This whole time I thought he was just a simple magician.

It's so great that the person going crazy in multiple posts about something as totally irrelevant as the color of Ollie's suit would then say this:

The incredible sensitivity by some here regarding Ollie is funny.

Your total lack of self awareness really pays off sometimes.

You know its a good thread when 7774 makes an appearance. Good cherry picking of that line, I should have more carefully crafted that one knowing you were on the prowl LOL although you know I had a different meaning in mind.

PS: Daniel Radcliffe's suit at a Harry Potter premier is exactly where that suit belongs where he probably Pitinoed one of those adoring fans behind him. I never said its a bad looking suit, it belongs in a different place than on the sidelines at UCONN where our teams have not looked good last 3 years now and have suffered from realignment. If Ollie's team was half as prepared as his suit, I wouldn't care one bit. If Ollie makes the NCAA tournament this year, you will not hear me criticize his coaching acumen again. If he has a dominant year next year same thing applies.

... is Ollie serious going to a nationally televised game wearing a pimp suit...."

OK, I'll take the bait. Here is a photo of a group of 2015 NBA draft picks who 1-4 years before that were potential recruits. They think this is the NBA look. Maybe their taste is more important and natural to KO than yours?

Also, I am amazed by the choice of the words "pimp suit." Sorry, that is inescapably racially insensitive and indicative of a high degree of ignorance. A "pimp" is "a man who controls prostitutes and arranges clients for them, taking part of their earnings in return." There are no pimps in college basketball that I know of other than the former graduate assistant coach at Louisville and whoever made arrangements for Laurie Fine. But, KO? No!!!

Would it seem right to you to say that a Pitino or Calamari wore a mobster suit? Same idea. Edit yourself.

NBA draft fashion:

Oh good lord, learn to laugh for . I have heard some of Pitino's suits referred to in exactly the same way as you seem to think would be offensive. Guess what? Everyone laughed. The term pimp suit is no different and not offensive to anyone with a brain. What should be offensive is the idea that what the coach was wearing (pimp suit, mafia suit, ridiculous sweater, track suit, etc) would have any effect on their coaching at all.

Polycom I never said its not fashionable, if I or anyone was going to Pitino a woman at the restaurant this would be the suit to do it. When your team is consistently unprepared against decent teams and your record is what it is at a place like UCONN, you don't wear that to a nationally televised game. It shows a lack of seriousness. Do you see Geno wear that to games? No. Why not, because Geno is serious and has respect for himself and his image.

PS: Gampelcrazies yes as soon as I saw that suit I knew we were going to lose. The bad mojo was too much to overcome lol. It's not so much the suit, its the fact that he wears that while his team looks bad on the court. Nobody myself included would care if we were winning and dominating, but we're not.

I'm not too happy with coaching these last few years but you must not be too classy complaining about the way he is dressed. He dresses pretty classy, and is a classy guy. Wonder what you look like dressed up. DUUUUHHHHHH.

Ollie has very nice suits. This is a silly criticism.
