Message: [QUOTE="Nostical, post: 2616675, member: 749"] Benedict isn’t stupid. In firing “for cause” he anticipated a lawsuit which will lead to a reduced buyout. I’m happy today. Ollie needed to go. Dont cry for him. He’ll be fine as an NBA asst coach.The success of our BBall (and football) are too critical to whether UConn will become relevant again. Forget Pikiel and Cooley. Cooley has a great recruiting class coming in. He's not leaving although every high profile program that needs a coach will be floating his name. He's already turned down attractive offers in the last few years. While Edsall was a bargain, look for Benedict to pay a bigger number than expected to get a bigger name into the MBB job. It’s too important. [/QUOTE]
