Lengthy article on KO and UConn in Connecticut magazine

[Blakeon18]

The October issue of the monthly magazine...'Connecticut'...has KO's picture on the cover with a long article inside. I haven't read it yet...the title on the cover is 'now the hard part comes'. I assume it is
on sale in the stores...and probably already in your local library. The author is Terese Karmel...have no idea if it is online. Just from glancing at it, it looks like worth checking out...appears the author has done a ton of research on KO's past.

It's a great article. I agree with Pitino, KO will be recognized in the future as one of the all time great coaches.

Here's a quote those who want to paint RB as selfish won't acknowledge:

“Ollie emphasized pride, trust, what’s on the front of the jersey, not the back,” says Boatright, who also stuck with UConn last season while others bailed. “Even though we weren’t playing for something, we still had a chip on our shoulder to win.”​

Ive believed in ko from day one and had no interest in seeing an outsider like shaka smart or the ex coach at butler get the job here. I always thought it should be ko and im glad it happened. i expect he`ll be here for 20 years and win atleast one national title. heck i hope he wins 2 or 3 in the next 15 years and goes on to an NBA job which i believe is the only way he leaves uconn. If he has won here and the program is on top and the offer is right.
