Seems like Calhoun's number one mission is to get support behind Ollie as head coach. As soon as he started telling his own story and developing the theme of "believe," I knew he was going to use that to rally support for Ollie. Seems like he brought every issue back to that, and then drew the obvious parallel that that's what we need to do.

Not a bad theme, but times are different than they were in 1986.

Yes 8893 good call.........

Also "We" and "family"......huge!!!

Not sure you get that done moving forward without staying within!!!

 

[8893]

Ok, I love this kid.

I believe!

 

[CTEagle]

Sounds fired up for sure but zero coaching experience though. Gonna be interesting to see.

 

[The Funster]

He buttered up Herbst nicely, too.

He will have for likely the forseeable future Miller & Hobbs (~ 20 years combined head coaching experience) on the bench with him and, more importantly, he was a PG for Larry Brown at a few different stops (LB brought him in specifically to be a coach on the floor once).

I don't believe that there is much required of this job that he already isn't capable of and I doubt there is anything required of this job that he cannot learn how to do quickly.

"...times are different than they were in 1986."
Things sure are different. In 1986 I was hoping Uconn would hire George Karl. Occasionally I'm wrong about stuff.
