Message: [QUOTE="DMIL, post: 2773723, member: 8539"] Who knows what they are really saying behind closed doors. Clearly something was said. Clearly conversations were occurring to secure Hurley while this man was still coaching and other assurances being made. Not all discrimination is intentional or conscious and without explicit evidence reasonable people would need to determine simply if there were similar or worse transgressions by prior UCONN coaches and there were related buyouts for them then why not for Kevin Ollie. That is the question and of course no one outside of the school knows the detail of this with prior coaches in similar situations because it was settled quietly. I agree with you if your position is that this is strictly a legal tactic on it's face with completely no merit (throw something at the wall to see if it sticks strategy)however it is not an ideal tactic or strategy and that is why you find a way to reach a settlement and part of that process is not poisoning the well. My take is that if it is so clear cut and dry then there should not be anything to worry about because nothing is there. The Administration will win in Arbitration and everyone moves on. The fear and elephant in the room is that deep down people would not be surprised if there is something there. [/QUOTE]
