Ollie vs Ranked Teams

[Brochacho]

Something to consider going into Wichita State.

12-13: 3-3
13-14: 10-4
14-15: 1-4
15-16: 1-4
16-17: 0-5
17-18: 0-2

15-22 overall. 13-7 with teams primarily composed of Calhoun's players. 2-15 since the title, with teams primarily composed of his players. 9 straight losses vs the top 25.

Yikes I knew it was bad but that was worse than I thought....the story ain’t pretty for Ollie no matter how you cut it.

 

[jibsey]

2-15 since 14-15 ? To quote Dick Enberg “oh my!”

 

[TRest]

For some reason I was shocked seeing a graphic that he was in his sixth year. Very tired of all the "he's young and learning on the job" b.s.

In other words, we’re due?

The amazing thing is that the talent disparity between the 2012-13 team and this year's team is not that great.

The difference in toughness and basketball IQ is immense.

KO did well coaching and developing JC's recruits. But his ability to identify and coach his own recruits, in the area of both tangibles and intangibles, is just horrific.

Thus far...A player taker not a player maker.

2 and 15 against ranked teams over the past 3 1/2 seasons. We have become the cupcake.

Btw, we now have losses by 15, 20, 25 and 35 points this season. Any way you slice it, it ain't pretty. I fear that the Wichita State game will be similar to Arkansas and Auburn.

Probably because he offers almost every recruit with a pulse and takes whoever is willing to commit.

Worth noting that in our 9 consecutive losses to ranked teams we've lost by double digits 8 times, and the only single digit defeat was by 8 to SMU.

Ok before I am laughed off this board for good here is the dealio...IMO

Next year if Auburn were to return Wiley and Purifoy (2 of Auburns best players) and add that duo to this present team...and they are not somehow banned by the NCAA for all of the cash payments they have made....I would pick them right now as my National Championship favorite (potentially best value pick) for next year. I am hoping their odds go down for next year with as many losses as possible this year because IF all the IFS above come to fruition they will be loaded off their A** next year with arguably one of the top 3 or 4 rosters in the country $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

I put the odds at around 30/1 all that happens (the variables)^^^^^^^^^^

We still were putrid today though ...again.

 

[Hi-Low]

Auburn isn't ranked but they made us look like a division 3 team today.

5 games left this year against likely ranked teams.....the best chance to "steal" one might be WSU in a week, otherwise KO is likely to keep his streak going.

There are so many issues going on and this is your thought?

What proof is there though that Chill can coach a lick? His Washington team last year was horrible despite having Fultz. I’d love to know what roles the different coaches have in developing the players because it’s not showing on the court. While the talent may not seem to be overwhelming, I still think the recruiting has been solid enough to field a competitive team. It’s the lack of coaching them up is the glaring weakness.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Yeah it's bad.

That's just not true. There isn't a single player on this team that would start on that team. The only possibilities at all are Adams and Larrier. Boat would play over Adams every time on defense alone. And I'd still take Jr Giffey over Larrier for his all around game. Larrier and Adams would be nice scoring subs off the bench. I'm not sure if anyone else on this year's team would even get any minutes.

Ugh, I think Ollie needs to go. I've heard all the gossipy stuff. I've shared it with people and I don't feel good about it. I've interacted with him a few times and have nothing but wonderful things to say about him. I also think his future is bright - just not at the college level.

I don't want to light him on fire. That's not the UConn way. He's every NBA head guy's dream assistant. Maybe every elite college head guy's dream assistant. He's an asset to a program, still in spite of all this. I don't want to run him over with a dump truck.

But i'm ready for the change. I'm hopeful for the change.

Yes, he would be a good assistant to give his positive Ollieisms. He can play the good cop to the bad cop head coach.

In reference to the finding talent comment of the poster

I haven't seen UCONN so bad since the days of Perno. Perno wasn't a bad game coach he just couldn't get the talent to come to Uconn. We cheered when he recruited the 150 th player. This team has talent but the game management is sub par. Rip Van Winkle needs to wake up and not watch the game go by.
