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

>>New filings related to the arbitration process involving UConn and former men’s basketball coach Kevin Ollie appear to reveal that Rodney Purvis, Sterling Gibbs and Terry Larrier were the players whose visit to an Atlanta trainer helped lead to Ollie’s firing for “just cause.”

Purvis, Gibbs and Larrier are among 14 out-of-state witnesses Ollie’s lawyers have received permission to depose as part of salary-grievance arbitration. All are listed in filings in connection with trainer Derrick Hamilton, a friend of Ollie’s who allegedly trained UConn players in violation of NCAA rules. Huskies athletic director David Benedict cited the incident when the school fired Ollie and argued it did not have to pay the $10 million remaining on his contract.

Others planned to be deposed in Ollie’s arbitration hearings include Ray Allen, former athletic director Warde Manuel, former recruit James Akinjo, Akinjo’s guardian Rachel Jackson, Akinjo’s stepfather Chris Wright, former assistant coach Ricky Moore, former assistant coach Dwayne Killings, former director of basketball operations Kevin Freeman, former player development coach Danny Griffin and former audio/visual coordinator Dave Sevush.<<
 
So what is the purpose here? And by dragging some UConn players (and beloved former greats) into court, is Ollie’s camp asking players to speak against the University? If so, this is getting out of hand. Family culture dragging each other thru the mud here.

NCAA will throw the book at us on this. Prefer he had hookers, people taking tests for our players, fake classes, Nike paying 100K to Alterique but this Atlanta training crap? Doomed death penalty coming at us:mad:

Didn’t you hear? It was an “academic” tho, and was offered to every student. We’re safe, right?
 
This reminds me of a neighborhood who lived down the street from me with his wealthy girlfriend in a townhouse she owned. He got lazy and quit working, so she broke off the relationship and kicked him out. He then sued her, claiming he was entitled to half her assets and half her future income. He contacted me and several other neighbors and said he was going to subpoena us to testify on his behalf. None of us wanted to be dragged into the mess. We thought the lawsuit was ludicrous. I told him I didn't have anything to say that was relevant to his claims, but he didn't care. Fortunately, common sense prevailed and the judge dismissed the case before we had to testify.

Didn’t we just land AG around that time, who lived in Atlanta, hard to imagine he wasn’t involved as well?

Today has been a freaking beautiful day. The new ESPN deal (especially the term), Wholly leaving football and now this. Well that's three... hopefully that's it.
 
KO's legal team seems to be all in there scorched earth tactics. It will be interesting to see how much leeway they'll be given.

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.

For some strange reason in retrospect all of these players sound great. Simply have a new appreciation for some of our past talent including these guys compared to what we have now. We take the next step in 2019 / 2020.

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.
