Ollie the favorite for OKC if Brooks is gone?

[storrsroars]

I'm surprised ESPN doesn't make it their top headline, considering how invested they are in seeing UConn disappear from the face of the earth

Anyway, it's a great rumor for every coach/recruiter going up against UConn. "Hey, you don't believe me? Look at this headline from The-Boneyard, which is UConn's own fans. Says Ollie is leaving for OKC right there!"

In all seriousness...I only know of eight or maybe nine high major BCS D1 coaches from other schools that read this board regularly. So it is not as many as everyone thinks. Sorry to be so bearish on that#. This is a great board though.

I had the count at 10, but maybe Jim Boeheim doesn't count, :-p

No lie and Chiefster would be beyond proud of me. I used to hang with JB at the Farmington Marriot way back in the day. Ok maybe "hang" is to strong of a word. Cuse used to stay there. He was not unfamiliar with the Bone-Yard. I think his wife Julie introduced it to him. Caw you are way to perceptive. It is a long story but it all started....while Jim was at the newsstand on ground level back in the day.

This is the Boneyard. 85% of us will drive ourselves nuts with anxiety until the day comes when we have absolute evidence that he is not leaving. A few months after that a few stray posters will question whether we would fire him.

KO needs to come out loud and proud quashing any rumor of him to the NBA immediately. Silence is not good with all of these kids they are recruiting, Shonn Miller especially and he needs to assure people he loves being the Husky coach, unless of course he would talk/walk to OKC?

I think this year there may be a reason KO may decide the NBA is the best option. I am not predicting it but there is a new factor that may be bias in that direction. I hope it doesn't play out that way.

No lie, I spent 3-5 minutes considering this post until I noticed the poster. Please, don't forget to begin all posts "quite frankly" to save us some time.

I wish you were his agent. $. BTW his agent and the divorce attorney I feel for the guy. KO needs to land Miller and then go back to Italy and have some fun. Maybe bring a few Bone-Yarders with him???

Just read Dom Amore's take on this. Nothing that hasn't been discussed here, but if you visit the webpage you'll notice that Chap went on one of his rants in the comments section and someone replied with "I think you may be right."

Do we need to start worrying that Ollie is going to leave again for the OKC job. Talking on SportsCenter about his friendship with Durant and how Ollie would be the guy to keep Durant in OKC. Already getting anxiety. We lose Ollie what would we do?

If he were to jump ship this summer this program would be in a lot of trouble.

Herd Billy Donovan was the guy they were trying to get?

I don't see KO as an NBA candidate this year. I don't think his 14/15 sideline mannerisms will play well at the next level

Kevin needs to get his mojo back, I trust he will, and I'd be happy to worry he's a target

I'm just not worried this year

Ollie's got a great background with that club, but outside of that (and yeah sure - it's meaningful) I feel like he's a few deep in the 'to the NBA' line and guys like Squid and Donovan would get consideration before him..
