Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 3088015, member: 1026"] Here is a difference between Kevin Ollie and every other coach in any sport that has been fired over the past year. It is difficult to accept, but most eventually do and in so doing accept accountability. from ESPN: The finality of the decision hit Martelli hard. "It's hard not to say with this handling, to not say, '[B]You know what, I failed,'[/B]" Martelli said. "That's been the hardest part for me, [B]to get beyond the fact that I failed."[/B] Martelli said he had not made a decision on what he would do next but did say television and the NBA are not as close to his heart as coaching in college. "I want, and in a way need, to be on a sideline," Martelli said. "Not to justify my career at Saint Joseph's -- to have an impact, on players, on a campus, on a student body." -------------- Two days later for Martelli after 25 years. One YEAR later following an over-indulgent 6 and Ollie & his sycophants aren't even to the part that he failed, much less being able to get beyond it. It is ONLY about what others did/do and get away with. Somehow this justifies two+ freakin' years of incompetency, lack of effort, errors & omissions that created violations, poor results, transfers, lack of player improvement and a myriad of contract violations and shortcomings.
