Ray Allen seeking protective order against UConn

Please make this go away... don't use Ray Allen as a pawn in this whole deal.

Ray Allen seeking protective order against UConn

When Ray Allen voiced his displeasure last month with the way both he and Kevin Ollie...

Wonder why??? Never gotten in trouble for his phone in the past “I’m getting there”

 

[Horatio]

Again, this is why some pro and college sports fans are against hiring beloved alumni as coaches. It’s awkward and ugly when it doesn’t work out. Especially after winning a championship. Now we have two beloved guys involved in one never ending mess.

Ugh, this isn't a good look no matter how you slice it.

FWIW, it is my understanding that Ollie's representation wanted expansive discovery in the arbitration and UConn objected. I believe there was a hearing on the matter and it was determined that broad discovery would be allowed. Once that was decided, the die was cast. It can't be one way only. It is reasonable to see if there were calls between Ray and KO or staff.

Can't allow Ray to disassociate himself from Storrs because of this. My understanding is this has really pissed him off. Never was upset they fired KO but them involving him in his buddies destruction is making him very upset.

The onus is on Ollie though.

Not 3rd parties.

Ray isn't going to have a fan base to remember him with anything but malice if this keeps up..maybe Miami. Celtics fans outside of CT are ambivalent at best.

I hope it ends as quickly as possible, as painlessly as possible for UConn and Ray.

Again, Ollie's representation wanted discovery broadened, not UConn. Ray Ray's anger is misdirected.

 

[Dooooooomed]

I'm over Ray. Sorry not sorry.

 

[UConn Dan]

It is reasonable to see if there were calls between Ray and KO or staff.

Agree, but thinking they can get this from KO and staff's phone records no?

Ray is our greatest alum ambassador. Let's try and not taint that relationship in the KO debacle.

Ollie is the one involving his buddy in his continued quest for personal destruction.

 

[CL82]

Respectfully, Ray needs to temper his public statements. I get that he's not happy that he made a phone call that contributed to KO's discharge for cause, but it is what it is. Make a single statement that the hope the matter can be settled amiably and shut the heck up.

Again, that broadened discovery pertains to Ollie. If tomorrow someone subpoenaed me, in a civil matter in which I was a disinterested party, about all the secret documents I have pertaining to the Cuban Missile Crisis, would I have to provide them?

 

[Pudge]

Pay the man.

I can't say that enough. The "not a dime" crew don't get the PR messiness of this.

 

[mauconnfan]

Hearing Benedict/UConn asked for the records for their defense he pushed back, good source.

I mean I get it no matter all of this is on KO in the end.

 

[CL82]

Do you have documents pertaining to the Cuban Missile Crisis?

 

[upstater]

Do you have documents pertaining to the Cuban Missile Crisis?

 

[CL82]

Pay the man.

I can't say that enough. The "not a dime" crew don't get the PR messiness of this.

So you'd pay $11M to avoid PR messiness of discharging an employee? Things have to get awfully messy before they are worth more than $11M.

FWIW, once the NCAA gave Ollie a 3 year show cause penalty, this was over. In the end there would be far more PR messiness in paying him.

 

[uconnfan68]

Do you have documents pertaining to the Cuban Missile Crisis?

Ted’s father gave them to him.

 

[Zissou]

Why was KO fired? Did the W-L record have anything to do with it? If so, pay the man.

If you don't think W-L was a factor, you've been duped.

the only thing that is important is the NCAA finished their review ,accepted Uconn self imposed sanctions and we have no NCAA Tourney probation. Kevin is in bad shape which is sad but his own doing.

Oh good. Now he's got another story to regale people with, whether they want to hear it or not. This and the "Why I left Boston for Miami" story. Whether you want to hear them or not, Ray Allen will tell you.
