Message: [QUOTE="SouthBayHusky, post: 2540149, member: 6201"] First of all coaching involves recruiting. When you say “give him the bells” give him all those players you’re assuming that’s somehow for free. Something that was not earned. I have news for you, recruiting is a special talent. And Calipari knows how to recruit, he did it not just at Kentucky but he did it at UMass so let’s not minimize. Nothing is for free and that man earned it. Kevin Ollie on other hand is not suffering from some unfair advantage. He was provided every tool to succeed and unlike people like Calipari or Calhoun he did not have to build from the ground up Next, nobody “hates” Kevin Ollie. Just because people want him fired does not equal hatred, you need to understand there’s a difference. He is a top paid Connecticut state employee making $3.1 million a year. He’s being paid a lot of money (among top 10 in College Basketball) to deliver results and he’s not delivering results. When that happens yes, people are going to call for him to be fired, myself included. That does not mean we hate him. Please understand the difference. I assume here young person, but try to think first before posting. [/QUOTE]
