Official Columbia Game Thread

I keep seeing Ollie needs to go. Here's the scary party folks... Ollie is not getting fired and I highly doubt he will walk on his own. He's going no where anytime soon. Buckle in

If KO loses this game and we keep going downhill I'm sure he has a chance of being fired mid-season. He is an embarrassment to the program right now. Ever since his divorce his energy seems to be lost. Maybe just a coincidence but I can't believe how his energy isn't there anymore.

I believe it’s the divorce and also distancing himself from Calhoun. Jim was around the program often, went to the games and practices. Ollie would take advice from Jim. He wins the NC and starts getting NBA offers and things change. Jim says , I’ll coach somewhere else.

Trust me if we only win a few more games by the time February comes rolling around he will be fired. Our AD and president aren't that stupid and I know KO doesn't want to embarrass the school anymore. This job is above his level and I'm sure he is finding this out fast. He can't live off JC's coattail anymore as those players are long gone.

A national search? Good one. UConn is in the AAC and not very attractive. The coaching candidates will be limited. Think coaches from America East.

Paging King Rice and Will Brown come on down

Jalen Adams has come out with his teammates but he's riding a stationary bike, not in layup lines with the other Huskies.


I really don't think Ollie has gotten the credit for recruiting arguably the least durable team in the country. We can't even get our players to December.

Good point about distancing from Jim. Is there any evidence though that there relationship has fallen apart? Just curious.

Oh don't say that! You have a lot to live for! Including the next Uconn mens bball coach. Which is likely very soon, rather than all that much later...

Calhoun back for 3 year contract to stabilize the program? At the very least as a consultant .... things really tanked when he stopped having any pull.

Diarra needs to play. He needs the experience and time on the floor. He's a baller.

You’re only half right.

Everything you see and like about Diarra right now is because he hasn’t had many minutes on the floor.

The more time he gets, the worse he’ll become as he unlearns and leaves behind everything good he had taught by his HS coach.

It’s just a matter of time...

Honestly at this point even that would be better. This Columbia Ivy league coach shows 10 times more coaching savvy than our current one!

This is indescribable. Losing to a team that can’t even tweet out live updates to its fans in front of no one. At home.

Ollie has destroyed any semblance of UCONN basketball. We look like garbage against every team. Jalen Adams has gone from a very good player to a guy who is out of shape, consistently getting banged up in-game, and playing without a care in the world.

Send Kevin Ollie on his way home, and call Jim Calhoun to take over for the rest of the year. During this time, AD Dave Benedict should lead a search nationally for the right candidate to take over the program.
Expand ...
Do you really think Benedict is the time to bring back a former coach?

Makes no sense that a guy is that athletic and has absolutely zero basketball skills.

Makes even less sense that you recruit a class, let you're relationship with class deteriorate to the point they all transfer out instead of stick around for a critical season, allow PC to poach a recruit, and therefor you have no choice but to recruit said guy with zero basketball skills.
