Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 2755759, member: 1414"] The reason I've "ignored it" is that I have no real proof and it is all conjecture. But here are the "facts" as I understand them. [LIST] [*]Kevin was an incredibly hard worker as a player, at UConn and in landing all those 1 year NBA contracts [*]Kevin was deeply religious and very much a devoted family man [*]Kevin was lauded as a future coach by NBA teams he played for, and mentor by young guys he played with. [*]With only a few years as an assistant, he got the UConn HC job. [*]Two years later he won a national championship with a roster that really had no business even reaching a final four [*]Sometime around 2014-15 his marriage fell apart, and he got divorced in 2015 [*]His 2015 team went 20-15, which wasn't bad [*]His 2016 team was 25-11, which was an under achievement given their talent. They looked worse than that, and players were used poorly. [*]Rumors surfaced about excessive partying, etc. [*]The 2017 team was terrible despite being ranked pre-season, although injuries played a key role. His recruiting was not strong, and he seemed disinterested in doing the job [*]Players transferred out. Recruits from in state who knew the program and players did not come to UConn. [*]The 2017-18 team was even more terrible. It looked completely over-matched, and struggled even against bad teams. [*]He seemed completely unwilling to admit the truth. He was fired. [/LIST] The conclusion I have privately drawn is that following the 2014 NC, something in him changed. That change caused him to destroy his family, and ultimately destroyed his will to do what was necessary to coach the UConn basketball team. That's my null hypothesis if you will. [/QUOTE]
