Message: [QUOTE="ConnHuskBask, post: 2079450, member: 632"] How in the world can you possible make the claim that the only way UConn soldiers on as a top program is with Ollie in charge? If we continue to underperform and not make the NCAAs and we continue to not improve players and get them to the NBA, I doubt the fact that KO was a journeyman in the NBA a decade ago is really a strong sell to recruits. Kids want a chance to make the NBA above all else and we've done a very poor job in developing talent to go to the next level. The idea that a) we couldn't hire a good coach given the salary we are paying and b) never make it past the first weekend on the NCAAs unless we have KO is absurd. Make no mistake, the best case scenario for UConn is that KO improves and becomes the coach we all hope he can be, but at the same time how many more seasons can you give him to figure it out? If we're fearing not making the Sweet 16 without him, but we can't even make the Tournament with him, I just see a flaw in that logic. [/QUOTE]
