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

Mark Gottfried didn't get fired for cause, nor for cheating. He resigned from Alabama, where he won regular season titles and earned the school its first ever #1 ranking, and he resigned from NC State after two losing seasons (prior to which he had gone to four straight NCAA tournaments and two S16s). His first job was at Murray State, where he won three straight OVC championships.

Not a good comparison.

Actually an excellent comparison and what KO could have done with $2.5M to boot.

Of course UConn doesn't want to make it Jerry Springer. You think any of this is benefitting Ollie?!?? Dude has taken a flamethrower to everything, doubt the guy picks up the pieces.

That’s the growing concern with guys who know and care about KO. He is withdrawing into a smaller and smaller World as he alienates a growing group of former friends. .

@whaler11 - What part of real life don’t you get? I did talk to him as did Kenton and a female (Chief cleaning up the language for Women’s History Month) and we all understood he would be in Storrs and believed it right up to game time. Why would anyone lie about that anyways? It will be obvious if he’s at the game or not. Your whole narrative is silly and foolish.
Kenton was preparing for the game, hence the communications gap, when plans changed.

I get this part. After it was posted that Dre was in Oakland, you posted that TCF was clueless that he was in Storrs and your proof was that you talked to him yourself.

I get the part of life where you are a pathological liar who claims inside information like 11:11 when in fact it was just a placeholder time on a schedule.

It’s clear in 2019 that many people on the internet can’t discern reality from fantasy - I’m just helping the #casualbrowser separate the two.

That isn’t context... I’m going to ask Facey if he remembers this event and some random old man with young daughters he was going to hang out with (this was ridiculous to type).
Expand ...
Polycom, you are not real sharpe, I never said any of my daughters were involved or that I was old. It’s been a few years ago but I believe the plan was for him to sit with Facey’s girlfriend and another female - that Dre called Fresh after a song. Again, his plans change - not a big deal - seen him several times since.

I did talk to him on my cell and he told me he would be in Storrs but his plans later changed.
You are looking for conspiracies that don’t exist. That seems to be a pattern for you.

“you are clueless. he is in storrs”

get your story straight or have facey slap a gag order on you to save face

Whatever actually happened behind closed doors with K.O. and the old coaching, mentors, staff, administration, recruits etc. we really don't know. We don't know what was said, how it was said. When that trust breaks down particular after certain assurances has been made things can turn left real quick. All of this was expected and foreseeable once they terminated K.O. for cause. The University pushed him too far, the crossed some lines that he clearly has not been able to reconcile. He's pushed the red button, pursuing the nuclear option. His position and strategy is clearly not about logic and more about his perceived perception of what occurred based on his own value system that includes his principles. When a person gets locked in there is no turning back; it's all or nothing. K.O. has to be able to look himself in the mirror and go to sleep at night so looking at it this way I can understand where he is. He has nothing else to lose.

It's easy to sit here and pile on K.O. at this point. There is a difference in opinion on how the separation needed to play itself out. Decisions were made and we all are going to have to pay the consequences. It was someone's job to clean this "ISH" up and they failed bottom line full stop. I'm sure there is a lot of stories out there and a number of efforts made but this is a colossal failure. All we can do at this point is hope for the best. Paying the Piper never feels good. This is self inflicted.

P.S. We should have put an Alumni fund raising campaign together to bridge the gap here even if the number was double the $2.5M offer to prevent this. I would have contributed my annual $25 to something like this :)

KO got greedy and was disappointed or should I say bitter. His attorney, if he had his best interests in mind, would have tried to control that. I don’t know if he did but see no evidence of that. They marched off the cliff together and are still in a freefall.

My head/eyes are killing me right now from a bit of an injury sustained last night, so I won't be able to read the article for a couple of days. Can anyone give me a quick summary?

You are still clueless and I thought he was in Storrs as did his other friends. It’s not complicated unless you want to see a nonsensical conspiracy behind every day life. Again, what is my motivation to lie about it, everyone would know if he was at Gampel for the game.

What was your motivation to make up gag orders?

What was your motivation to claim home football games were starting at 11:11?

What is your motivation for inventing a 2.5 million settlement offer through backchannels?

Who knows - but you die on the miscommunication hill brah.

You said you had daughters college age at least a year ago, so you've got to me at least 40...unless you had kids youngish so to Facey you'd be an old person considering when this happened he'd be 18 or 19. But it's cool, I can just ask him about this, I'm sure he'll verify you're entire story since you've never made anything up on the internet. This also means that Facey will be able to confirm your identity.
 
You need to spend time listening to answers as oppose to asking the same question that’s been answered satisfactory adnaseum I have said the gag order was a self imposed decision due to the litigation environment KO has created in his nosedive. My attorney suggested it wouldn’t be a bad idea for anyone in that orbit. Hence I self imposed it, at his suggestion.
whaler11 said:
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?
Expand ...

You really have zero idea what has happened. The worse has not come out about KO and by a long shot. I hope it never does but if he keeps pushing this it’s bound to happen.

Just tuning in here; been busy with the day job. Haven’t read the papers or the context of the argument you bolded, but iirc having a “just cause” provision in a state employment contract creates a property interest in your job to which due process rights attach. Perhaps that’s what he’s referring to?

I hate everything about everything to do with this situation so I’m not diving in otherwise; just trying to make sense of that comment.
Expand ...
Due process in this case would be following the agreed procedure under the contract, no?

I do have a daughter who now is college age but she wasn’t involved in this since it was a few years ago. Kentan should be able to confirm Dre’s plans changed.

Hearst/CT Post/NH Register: UConn balks at attorney’s request to question witnesses during Ollie’s arbitration hearing

>>Parenteau estimates it could take at least two or three months to secure all of those depositions (videotaped or otherwise) as some may decline to do so and may need to be subpoenaed.

There has been some progress in the case, however. The sides have agreed on an arbitrator: Marcia Greenbaum of Massachusetts.<<

I doubt he would be doing all these out of state depositions for 2-3 months unless he has some fee compensation.

These are all state employees and we as taxpayers deserve to see what they are doing in their official
capacities.

Release everything yesterday.

Don’t worry I know what the big Ollie reveal is - yawn.

What don't you get? UConn fired him for "just cause" and alleged that he was violating NCAA rules. If Ollie accepts that, he is finished as a college coach forever because he would be subject to a "show cause" order, meaning that another school could be assessed penalties simply for hiring him.

Ollie has no choice but to fight this, and if it was me, I would figuratively burn the university to the ground before I would consent to this. UConn has boxed itself into a corner, because the only way to a settlement would likely require an admission on their part that the "just cause" claim was false, which is not something UConn wants to do.
Expand ...


Fighting is one thing, but no college is going to hire him now and that's a fact. He is going to have to head to the NBA and maybe one day he can return to the college game. This makes him look bitter and greedy in the minds of many who follow UConn basketball.

I just wish this was over, that's all.
 
What have I done here? Or was this already flowing before my TLDR article summary request?
