Lakers beat writer's sources say no Ollie contact, no meeting planned

[Gampeltiles]

Has Kevin Ollie made Kevin Ollie a "brand". KO preaches and teaches "Connecticut Basketball" and all that good stuff. But what sticks in my mind is Jay Wright, 6 days before he had to meet UCONN in the Sweet Sixteen, saying unconditionally "I am a Kevin Ollie fan".

Perhaps, even unknown to himself, Ollie has made himself bigger than the program.

IT IS HIS AGENT. THAT IS HIS JOB.

That is speculation.
