New court filings name former UConn standouts Rodney Purvis, Sterling Gibbs, Terry Larrier in Kevin Ollie case

[CL82]

KO is like herpes.

He keeps unexpectedly cropping up in ugliest ways imaginable?

 

[Chief00]

Ok - KO and his team apparently did not get Chief’s wake up post a couple week’s ago. So Chief’s starting to lift the self imposed gag order and I will match them now and believe me it will get much worse. This latest FOI Request will embarrass no one more than KO, if approved. His reputation will lay in ruins.
UConn offered KO $2.5 million through back channels and that would have avoided all this unnecessary mess and KO would now be working.
If KO ever has the really poor judgement to call Chief as a witness - the gloves are off - and Chief will tell everything. I think even his lawyer recognizes this would not be in his client’s interest.

Hearsay is inadmissible.

Is it possible to have negative respect for KO?

Oh my god! Chief is Akinjo!

I know I’ve thought this like 3 trillion times and I’m sure I’ve written it more than once, but maybe NOW we’ve finally bottomed out.

Imagine this leads to some violations and we get the hammer dropped on us and DH leaves and the program just sinks into obscurity forever? lol! It would be a sad end. I think we'll be fine. People around here have been saying the sky is falling for the better part of 5 years.

It hasn’t been?

I hop this is an April Fools joke that was released too early.

Locating Larrier is like trying to find Carmen San Diego.

Had that problem on defense too

Oooooooooo. BURN!!!!!

Fancy LawLawyer:

Mr Chief Double Zero is it?

On the night of February 13th, 2014 were you in the company of Andre Drummond and some UConn - Judge I apologize for the language - “”?

Chief00:

Yes

Fancy LawLawyer:

Your honor I would like to submit people’s evidence 6 - a photograph taken of Mr Drummond on the night in question in Oakland, Michigan.

Court: Gasps, chaos ensues much gavel banging

KO could have lost, cheated, OR got caught and kept his job. All three? No sorry.

He’s going to need this $10mm because he is never going to work in basketball again after this.

I have not been notified the gag order has been lifted. I doubt that it will be until closure of situation.
Three general, nonspecific thoughts based on what’s public now:
1) If one thinks those workouts were less likely to happen if our S&C guy was better - that’s on Travis not Carlos since those violations were in 2015/2016.
2) Miller is a snake and will never get another D1 job. I understand he got fired and saw lots of bad stuff before that - but no one will hire him in D1 now. He won’t be trusted.
3) Ray is right, KO needs R&R and maybe he should bring Michael Bailey with him before his reputation is damaged further.

Is it hard to keep track of all the gag orders?

I was waiting for someone to latch onto his “self imposed” verbiage there.

 

[Engineer90]

So he risked 2.5 million for, what would you lawyers say, about a 10 percent chance to get 10 million? Idiot.

You know how you beat the claim that you are racist for treating the white coach (and Hall of famer) different from the black coach? You bring out all of the ugly and embarrassing things that the black coach did but the Hall of Famer white coach didn't. Are you ready for this?

Huh we already know what they accused him of.

How do you fault Ollie and his lawyers for wanting to interview the people whose stories were used to fire him?

If the documents are so embarrassing to Ollie why don’t they just release them?

Good try LOL. Noticed I said in the first post “starting to lift” and that “I would match them now”. I then slipped in a piece of information, (the $2.5M informal offer) they know is true to get their attention. You should have understood this to be a warning rather than a self impose gag order dam break. Timing is everything, when did I post the bottom post and what has happened since, including this week?

If your sanity was on trial this wouldn’t help your case.

Who woulda thunk that a tenuous application of cause could cause such a scalitoshow.

I’m shocked.

I’m shocked.

And who woulda thunk that Ollie was such a dirtbag? Not sure anyone saw this coming when Calhoun went out on a limb for him.

 

[Chief00]

His lawyer is in desperation mode now -trying to win some settlement legal fee out of this disaster.

[tzznandrew]

People here act like they'd be all noble if they were fired on somewhat shoddy grounds FOR CAUSE and stood to lose not just $10M but also would struggle to find another coaching job (because it was FOR CAUSE).

I want KO to go away, and we made the right choice, but this was all inevitable once we fired him for cause. And every one of you all would do the same thing. You'd like to pretend you're all noble, but for $10M...
