On Ollie

[Husky Dad]

How many times does Hamilton need to throw it away? Foul shots, defense demeanor. It's just awful. Said fundamentals before. His squad made Tulsa look like a pro team tonight.

I'm not pinning a loss on Ollie when his entire team decides not to show up.

But his strategy to just not coach tonight was, um, interesting to say the least.

 

[g_smith]

I've noticed we don't do well with late games. Ollie is an early riser type of guy. These guys are definitely tired come 930.

 

[Giddyup5]

We need Calhoun's offense

 

[Husky Dad]

His energy is low. This young team needs to be lead. Maybe Ollie is distracted.

 

[jdb50]

Ollie's sit down, hand on chin approach when his team looks like it is not a team and doesn't care if it wins is troubling.

 

[Husky Dad]

Need Calhoun hook on some of these guys. Calhoun would kick Phil's ass.

 

[Husky Dad]

Chair looks way too comfy.

Who is he supposed to play? Daniel hamilton is at worst our third best player, and besides boat the only one on the team with any real basketball skills. Yes he is out of control at times but he's a freshman. He makes plenty of plays.

That's thw problem. Facey can be great or terrible or non existent . Brimah can be great or he can be terrible at times or non existent. Omar can be great or terrible or non existent. Rodney can be ok or absolutely God awful. Samuel can be ok or terrible or non existent. Cassel can be ok or terrible. And phil. Well we all know phil can only be terrible

That isn't a very good scenario for a coach. This team has a lot of promise but there's so many unknowns. Hardly anyone is consistent or you at least know what you're gonna get.

Ollie has repeatedly demonstrated that he is a hell of a coach. Nobody besides boat has demonstrated that they can consistently play

I'm not giving the players a pass nor am I giving Ollie a pass. The players played lazy, dumb and distracted ball and that's the same way Ollie coached. It happens every once in a while but it simply can't happen now if these guys want to be a tourney team. Piss poor effort from everyone.

you'd think that after the debacle in Houston on their first AAC away trip last year would've been a wake-up call for players and staff this year...but no

 

[Husky Dad]

We handed them the game. Played terrible. Starts and ends with Ollie.

 

[RipCity]

Purvis, Hamilton, Calhoun, and Boat all didn't show up.

 

[Jerry1714]

you'd think that after the debacle in Houston on their first AAC away trip last year would've been a wake-up call for players and staff this year...but no

Um this is completely irrelevant.

I am going to guess you think this is our first road AAC game.....which tells me all I need to know about you.

 

[UConn990411]

Seriously though, can someone explain to me why Ollie stopped coaching tonight?

 

[Husky Dad]

I think Celtics are more fun to watch then this team. Holy depressing.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

gotta call it as it is...this was a trap game and Ollie did not have his team believing that , didn't have them focused and ready to play

it's a work in progress...the sooner they realize that they aren't talented enuf to beat anyone (Yale at home...hello) without effort, the better off they'll be

 

[uconn13]

can't spell dysfunctional without u-c-o-n-n

 

[UConn990411]

Okay, I change my mind - pinning this one on Ollie.

That was one of the worst coaching jobs I've ever seen at UConn. My god.

 

[Husky Dad]

Sleepy Ollie. Sloppy team.

 

[Jerry1714]

I think Celtics are more fun to watch then this team. Holy depressing.

you are a miserable human being.

 

[TheRogers]

Holy duckck!!! They just don't want to win tonight!

 

[RMoore1999]

His energy is low. This young team needs to be lead. Maybe Ollie is distracted.

Maybe he's distracted, maybe he isn't. Either way you're an idiot.

 

[Horatio]

Wow!!!!! That last minute was beautiful. It was epic. I blame the refs, Oklahoma BBQ and possibly Oklahoma strippers.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Ollie really blew it tonight. Might be the worst coached game of his career.
