Message: [QUOTE="DMIL, post: 2772649, member: 8539"] That is not the argument he was making "because he's a good guy". Are you a corporation or are you a human being? Do you believe human beings should have rights as well as employees of corporations? Who are you to say or determine if he is "Good" or not. That's not your call. We should be thankful for Ollie's contribution to the University and the great state of Connecticut. He never had to come across the country to Storrs. Ollie had plenty of options. He contributed 4 years as a player for a number of those successful teams in the early 90's. He contributed as an Alumni, as a UCONN advocate in the NBA for 13 years, as a recruiter, as a Connecticut resident, as a sponsor and chair of numerous charitie, as an Assistant Coach on our 2011 National Title, as our Head Coach in a penalty ridden banned from the tournament year as Head Coach literally stopping our program from falling completely on it's face acting as a bridge for the post Calhoun years, as a Head Coach for our 2014 National Title. Kevin should be getting a plaque from UCONN within 10 to 15 years and not when he is 85 years old. To the contrary....he's not only thanked UCONN, UCONN NATION, the state of Connecticut and Jim Calhoun but has contributed significantly and none of that can be erased with a couple of bad years. JC knew what he was getting when he recruited K.O. and our Great University and the state of Connecticut benefited greatly. 2 tough years with K.O. as head coach is not going to erase all of his contributions. This is a UCONN family dispute. Don't make it more than what it is. We should be grateful for Ollie's contribution and continued support of the state, University and his charities. The last few years has been a stain, that's it. [/QUOTE]
