Ollie 7-3

He brought in Chillz. Had Killz. Had a decent recruiting class lined up.

Yeah, it looked promising.

There must be something bigger than unapproved workouts behind the curtain to get Ollie bounced. I am hoping Athletic Director...Dave is pointing at empty seats, poor work ethic and depleted coffers for "just cause".

I think "Just Cause" involves more than poor results and resulting financial loss. I believe that the investigation by the NCAA relates to at least 5 former recruits. My gut tells me something to do with Sid could constitute "cause". I am sure we will learn more in the next week or two.
 
Did you watch the games? This was the worst prepared, worst coached team in all of Division 1. Chill and Kills were brought in to be yes men for a HC who doesn’t know what he is doing. They are a couple of zeros on the bench. It did not look promising.

Agreed, this had to be the most underwhelming coaching staff I have ever seen at a major D1 school. Chillious might be a top notch recruiter, but between Washington and here, his team's were a combined 14-31 over his last 45 games. The bench often looked overwhelmed this season. Stunning to me that a relative handful still wanted one more year of this.

Without a doubt lethargy was a pronounced characteristic of Ollie's team from top to bottom. But if he was fired for that then Athletic Director...Dave has to tie that to poor attendance etc.
 
Some of the quotes in here are pure gold.
If you like this thread, you will love going back down this memory lane:

The Athletic: KO Article

I found these while going back to see when I first implied that firing for cause was a way out of paying the full 10mill. It was December 9th. A couple of other posters came to the same conclusion in the above thread.
 
Is this making you guys feel good about yourselves?

It gives me hope for the team's future and it gives me hope for the AD.

Will the Ollie disciples support the next coach like they did Ollie. I hope so. At least, initially.

During the past week, I took @jleves to heart and refrained from conjecture about KO's future. I found more than enough of amusement here to keep me logged in & engaged. And, within six days, the termination decision was revealed. I found myself liking the swift certainty of it, and it seems as though there's an engineered display of support emanating from major CT print media to get the message out that JC, SH, boosters, etc. are aligned with DB's announcement and the "just cause" angle.

Do I know the full back story or road ahead? Nope. I think that all but a very few here are speculating in ways that could show up like some of the comments in this resurrected thread. I can remain both interested and patient, even a little lightheaded from uncertainty, but read @HuskyHawk's first sentence above: the team's on-court performance was on display for 32 regular season games this year. It was on display 33 times last year. We've collectively found ourselves more than not questioning KO and the team's play ever since the 2014 NC. The Boneyard has not been the only place of such observation, as it extended into the national media as well.

My humble request is for suggestions of games to re-watch from the 2014-15 season up until today. There must be some (lion-hearted Boat, Brimah scores 40+, a DHam triple double?, Shawn Miller steadiness come to mind but represent individuals and not the team), but nothing generates the memories or experience of links posted recently of games with great teams & legendary players against top-notch opponents. I really would like to see something from the past four seasons to soften my stance. And I wish us well.

I will support whoever succeeds KO vociferously. The I-told-ya-so’s just seem petty.

There is.
 
Monmouth and Stony Brook are both good enough to win their conferences; that means 20 wins. Their record through 5 weeks is not indicative of how good they are.
Sadly that did not turn out well.

Monmouth was 9th in the metro, 7-11 and 8 games out of 1st. Columbia 7th in the ivy out of 8 and stony Brook was fighting off two teams for 5th in the american east.... Maybe it is true ... Uconn would not have won a single conference this year.

I think KO should have been given one more year, but of course I'll support the next coach. I have to say though, other than Donovan, Hurley and maybe JC, the list of possible replacements doesn't excite me.
