Sure..the coaching was suspect at times but that is going to be the case when you don't have the horses needed to run what you are trying to run and he ended up putting too much pressure on players that couldn't or weren't ready to deliver in prime time.  The 2 years were predictable simply with the departures and injuries however they should not have been worse than .500 any of those years.

The other point I'll make is that Kevin Ollie was a winning student athlete for UCONN, a winner in the NBA, a winner recruiting initially, a winner as an assistant UCONN coach and a winner as a UCONN Head Coach with contributions of 2 National Titles for our great university.  Were there years where he under-performed?  Yes.  Were there years where he over-performed?  Yes.  Were there years where it was kind of a "Meets Expectations" for the talent we had and related circumstances?  Yes.

Despite the last 2 years Kevin Ollie is a winner.  This is simply a fact.
