Message: [QUOTE="caw, post: 4538294, member: 563"] I'm going to disagree. IMO, Ollie wasn't actually a bad hire, maybe not the best but he wasn't bad, and it wasn't actually a bad call by Calhoun at the time. The man averaged almost 25 wins a year his first four years, which isn't bad. He had flaws as a coach but he wasn't bad those first four years (3.5). Then he stopped caring about pretty much any aspect of coaching from recruiting, to planning, to maintaining order with players, or following rules. Those were unforeseeable when he was hired. Considering his previous work ethic that got him and kept him in the NBA, it was probably one of the things UConn worried the least about. [/QUOTE]
