Message: [QUOTE="BlueMAB, post: 2080351, member: 920"] Ollie's offense is painful to watch when he doesn't have a dynamic PG to bail out the other 4 guys. There's simply not enough motion in the offense, it's largely an NBA one on one offense. Without a true PG, and athletic swing man, this team never had a chance. The expectations for this team changed in November. Everyone outside the program said it would be incredibly difficult to make the tournament without Larrier and Gilbert. Ollie has been very underwhelming after inheriting his national championship team. He was critical to keeping it together. But he's got to show the ability to recruit well on the court, not on paper. The next two years are critical, if we are healthy, and not in the NCAA tourney, then people have every right to question whether or not we should move on. Ollie had to overcome the recruiting sanctions, going from the Big East to the AAC, and now injuries. Those aren't excuses, those are facts. The next couple years (barring injuries) will show us whether or not he can get it done, but he has been behind the 8 ball from the very beginning. [/QUOTE]
