just looked up JC's record to begin his career, I feel better now

Both things I said are true. Everyone else is off base!

I agree with half of what you say

maybe KO just has to find himself and refine his methodology

Willie your all over the place. Horrible comparison comparing Northeastern with an established national power like UCONN that Ollie inherited. If we go back to back seasons to the NIT that will be on Kevin Ollie. Ohio State, Texas, and Georgetown games will determine the rest of the year. If we go 1-2 or 0-3 in these games then this team will have no chance at the NCAA tournament unless they win the AAC tournament. I don't think anyone wants to depend on the AAC tournament.

OMG

I intended this thread to be more of a positive note with a touch of levity. Silly me, I should have known better

My point, it took time for JC to develop his HOF and winning ways, so maybe it's reasonable to give Kevin more time

My narrative is spot on, so many of the others miss the point and go off on some tangents that are simply hard for me to fathom

If last year you said Ollie can't recruit and this year you are saying hE can't coach, it is time to realize you are an idiot.

I resent that! Which half?

Depends if you are talking about the Pats or not.

I never said he can't recruit, I always thought his street cred and NBA experience gave him a unique advantage in the inner-city hotbeds for hoops

I don't think he coaches rebounding very well, not at all. I would also love for him to have the same fire on the sidelines he had during our 2014 championship run.

Defensive lapses and offensive execution are fixable

They coach the crap out of rebounding at practice I am quite sure. Now during a game you may have a point. I watch Facey, Miller and Brimah all in the low block during foul shots and they hardly ever block out which is a sin, seen them lose many a rebound and get lucky on others. If they lose a rebound due to not performing the block out on a FT they'd sit their butt next to me immediately if I were coach. Easiest fundamental to ask for, your guy is already where you want him what's so hard about doing that?
