Message: [QUOTE="TJT, post: 2770350, member: 8605"] The longer this plays out, the uglier it will get. The threat of KO spilling the beans on past staff's indiscretions along with the race card were always possible and it looks like that day is here. The specter of a black vs white angle does not bode well for UConn given the past white coach that had transgressions was not fired and KO himself was replaced with a white coach. If I am not mistaken, Ollie is the only African-American that UConn has ever hired to be head coach of one of its three main sports (MBB/WBB/MFB). In this day and age, that would not be considered a good record inclusion wise. It will reflect negatively on UConn if the only African-American coach ever hired for one of its main sports claims to have been treated differently and blames race for this. Getting a bad rap on race relations in sports can be difficult to escape. [/QUOTE]
