Ollie has built a 5 year resume already.

Beat two HOF coaches (including Izzo) and has put energy in a team that at glance has little to be excited about. He will be special, the next Jim Calhoun.

I hope he's a lifer.

I hope he's a lifer.

The great thing about hearing him talk is that I absolutely believe he is.

Really impressed with his coaching tonight. Substituted well, kept everyone in the game and attacked the Cuse zone as well as I've seen. The team played their hearts out and Ollie gave them full credit. GREAT win !!!!

I'm ball parking, but Izzo and Boeheim have about 1,300 wins between them with a fistful of NCAA titles and even more final fours.....and Ollie is 2-0 against them with far less talent on his roster. Just sayin.

Calhoun has a fistful of titles, they do not

The Fruit are next up on the "they'll never be good without (insert HOF Coach name here)" clock. UConn has proven it can endure. Can the Fruit????

Is there anyone who is considered to be JB's successor??

Not that I know of. McNamara is an assistant on their staff...maybe him????

Mike Hopkins is coach in waiting

 

[HuskyJJ]

They may always hire out of house. I wouldn't doubt if they did.

Why stop there, if you continued to say "and he's a better coach", I doubt anyone (including me) would disagree ...............................................at least certainly not tonight.

LOL! NO WAY! Not after this victory and Charlotte over Butler in the same evening! But he will conveniently forget this night after the next wtf UConn loss.
