Okay I’m off the Ollie train

[BigErnMcCracken]

Sure the talent level on this team doesn’t stack up to good UConn teams of the past but this is straight up embarrassing. Losing by thirty to a mediocre Arkansas team? Body language is terrible, not even a halfhearted effort defensively, no plan whatsoever. He’s lost the team in November? After the season they just had? Blow it up and start over.

I've been holding off for as long as I could, but I think I'm there as well.

This situation just sucks.

It's about time BigErn, I've been taking licks left and right on this board for just speaking the truth. Glad to have you on board brother....Enough is enough

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Hey let’s run something for a terrible shooter to get an open look so Larrier can airball an eight footer off the rebound.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Completely unprepared physically and mentally for a key OOC game. No accountability or pride. Guys basically going through the motions, and KO completely uninterested in laying into anyone.

 

[Walker11]

If you aren't going to be an ace x/o's you better be the type to inspire the squad to play with intensity, especially on the defensive end. After the effort the displayed against UO, they come out like this? Bewildering.

You might be premature in the losing by 30 department. When was the last time a UCONN team lost by 40? Ah yah yah, where do we go from here?

 

[Jaybo]

I'm hoping he doesn't last very much longer at all.

 

[ASweet3781]

Sad and quite frankly scary times for this athletic department when you consider where the 2 big boy sports are at right now.

 

[ScottBonz]

I’m there. Unless we beat nova and Cuse, I’m done.

 

[AntG168]

I'm hoping he doesn't last very much longer at all.

Agree. What exactly would we be waiting for. Terry and Jalen are leaving anyway and our recruiting class for next season aren’t a bunch of studs who you’d be afraid to lose. Tonight showed AD Dave all he needed to know

This is his team, all his players so his excuses are over. I'm willing to give him this season for that reason. Anything short of a good season I'm supporting you on this. Mediocrity is not UConn and that's what we've become.

Bringing in Ricky and K-Free on staff with neither having any prior coaching experience was not helpful either.

 

[Caronimo]

Agreed and I’m very concerned about the direction of this program. I was cautiously optimistic before the season, but looks like much of the same bs as last year

 

[AntG168]

I’m there. Unless we beat nova and Cuse, I’m done.

“Beat Nova” lmaoooooo. Beating cuse wouldn’t be an accomplishment they’re bad as well

 

[RayRay34]

yeah, it’s time to turn the page on this one.

just zero energy, zero effort, no leadership

Don’t count on that.

Not going to give an opinion, because im not working with the team or department.

But it says something that guys like @AntG168 and @BigErnMcCracken are off the ollie train.

 

[Caronimo]

Good point. I actually wrote a post back then bashing Ollie about being out coached and got killed. I’m very convinced the players that year made him look good. Lots of shooters and shabazz. Doesn’t have that anymore, despite having talent. You need shooters and great d if you’re gonna play KO ball

 

[UConnMike04]

I’m there as well. Had nothing but positive thoughts when the hire was made, then when we won the title in ‘14 I was thinking the program would take off (even with the league). In fact, the opposite has happened.

Poor x and o guy, poor judge of talent (example: remember his quote about Purvis in the garage?), teams constantly unprepared, terrible recruiting (yes, our recruits are over rated), etc. I knew Enoch personally as a kid/teen, and this is a kid that bled blue. Always had UConn gear, watching games, etc. When he transferred I knew something was horribly wrong with KO bc knowing him as I have, he wouldn’t walk away from this program with an open starting spot unless was seriously wrong.

 

[Travelman6]

I might be on board too. If the search is started now, who can Uconn find? That is my one question. But ya, the search needs to start soon to get anyone even halfway decent.

 

[LIuconn]

Plenty of good, creative up and coming coaches in the mid majors. Let's get the best available regardless of their connection or lack of to UConn

And we were a brimah and 1 away from losing the st joes game. I support Ollie, and like him a lot, but I’m slowly turning against him.

Thank God for Geno.
