Are we just going to continue to ignore the elephant in the room on this one or is it possible that the stuff in his personal life knocked him off course?  That's a rhetorical question.  Of course it's possible, if not likely.  All the writing is right there on the wall.

Clearly he had weaknesses as a coach, independent of that, but one doesn't simply fall from winning the title at 100/1 odds to the biggest tire fire in the country unless there are some serious mitigating circumstances.

Pending the result of the NCAA investigation, he will have no shortage of suitors if he decides to coach again.  No, he's not going to get the Arizona job, but there are plenty of A-10 level jobs he could walk right into.  People tend to underestimate how many retread coaches who have accomplished considerably less than Ollie continue to find employment.

The question, as you said, is his desire.  I'm not sure he wants to be a college coach.  My guess is that if he puts in some time as an assistant in the NBA, he'll eventually get a shot there.
