"It's a Loss. It's not crushing us"

[JMick]

I don’t give a crap. My ability to call out BS is still second to none.

and you're the most humble, too, right?

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

We're pre-crushed.

We are petite crushed tomatoes.

 

[Stainmaster]

No that would be Huskymagic

 

[UCweCONN]

You want him to say it crushed us and we’re throwing in the towel? There wasn’t anything else he could say. I’m down on Ollie but some criticism is just silly.

What about saying the team played great against Wichita when they lost by 10 at home? The man just doesn't know what to say and what not to say. Very Ben McAdoo-ish and we know where he is now.

 

[mdkhusky]

Sounds like he has something in common with @mdkhusky.

Alright you keep on supporting under .500 seasons!!

He openly says it’s acceptable to root for UConn to lose. If this board weren’t full of __________s, I wouldn’t be the only one saying that’s screwed up.

While I have you here...who did you want to win tonight’s game?

You've already won. You're the most Millennial out of all the Millennials on this board.

You beat out Vegan boy, congrats on your victory.

You're rooting for the team to lose - that directly leads to sub-.500 seasons.

The quoted post describes you, not me.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Just one time I want to hear the word "unacceptable", or a synonym.

We need a coach who appreciates and has an interest in upholding the standards of this program.

 

[UCweCONN]

Or how about :

“Yeah, this stings real bad. We’ll give it a day and when we get back to Gampel we’ve got a lot of hard work to do to clean things up”

You can acknowledge that losing to Tulsa sucks while also not quitting...

He needs a lessen in public relations. You'd think after all his years in the NBA, he'd know how to respond to the media after losses. Clueless. This will be the weakness that costs him his job. Recruits can tell BS when they hear it too.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Seriously is this dope trying to get himself fired at this point?

As you've said a million times on this board, the fanbase has zero effect on what we do as a basketball program.

Someone cheering for us to go 31-0 or 14-17 has nothing to do with how the team performs. It won't change Ollie having back to back years that are worse than any in the past 35 years.

You're defending a self-proclaimed "UConn fan" rooting for UConn to lose.

Pause and re-evaluate yourself.

Recruits and UConn players already have and so have their parents.

The only thing this or any D1 athletic program responds to is decreased revenue and fan support (especially apathy). Diaco is a classic example. People vote with the checkbooks.
• Declining revenue: Check
• Declining fan support: Check
• Fire Coach Ollie: Check

 

[Stainmaster]

you wanted to keep Ollie for over 12 months after all the warning signs started rearing their head. you have no credentials here

Your crowd thinks lottery picks and deep tourney runs are coming back. Don't talk to me about credentials.

Sorry I'm not Tenspro, who wanted Ollie gone a season after winning a title.

 

[auror]

Yo they shot 36 free throws to our 14 and shot 41 3’s I don’t understand the refs are even allowed to call anymore games

They draw a lot of fouls on the season. Their FT Rate is 45%, top 10 nationally.

Our rate is 32.5% and is below average for D1.

We also foul more than the average team and they foul significantly less than the average team (90th percentile avoiding fouls).

So a team who draws a lot of fouls and doesn't foul opponents AND who is fouled at the end to prolong the game is playing a team that fouls more than average and doesn't draw a lot of fouls and wasn't fouled intentionally and you are surprised there is a FT disparity?

I've already given you my expectations. They're not remotely unreasonable. This current situation is a complete fiasco

Once Strawmaster gets going he can't stop strawmastering.

"I think we should finish most years ranked = We should have 2 lottery picks every year and a final four every other year when we don't win the championship"

 

[Stainmaster]

If you're honestly content with that, you're in the vast minority here.

I can't keep track of how many times I see JC used as the standard for recruiting, game-planning, player development, and sending kids to the pros on a daily basis here. People lie about it when pressed directly because it makes them look foolish, but deep down that's what they want.

 

[Stainmaster]

"I think we should finish most years ranked = We should have 2 lottery picks every year and a final four every other year when we don't win the championship"

Spend 5 years with Cincy or Wichita's tourney/NBA track records and get back to me.

 

[Stainmaster]

Thankfully, he's ignored. I can only imagine the brilliance.

This is probably the fifth time this season you've bragged about ignoring me. Your obsession with me is slightly unsettling.

On a side note, how do you think Foxen would've looked tonight?

 

[Bryan Lord]

Eight of our toes have frost bite, we was cold tonight.

 

[Nostical]

Ollie said if he wasn't a coach he'd be a preacher. I say it's time to preach. Can I get an amen?

Strawmaster in every thread, Jim Calhoun isn't walking through that door.

As if there aren't any coaches in-between Calhoun and Kevin Ollie.

Oh yeah, there is one other coach according to Straw. King Rice.
