Message: [QUOTE="DMIL, post: 2505481, member: 8539"] Because this is the place a future Hall of Fame coach is coming....The money to pay that coach is not there, not in the budget. For some reason I just feel people think that there are all of these legendary coaches that can't wait to come to Connecticut. It's just not the case. Connecticut is a very good gig, attractive with the facilities and history but the money the elite coaches are getting now we are not going to pay. We are going to need to find that experienced upstart coach if Ollie is not going to be our guy and this is going to be some trial and error. It's just not Automatic. North Carolina went through this after Dean Smith. They were fortunate to land a future Hall of Fame coach from Kansas (another Blue Blood program) named Roy Williams. I can count on one hand the number of elite coaches on this level and cannot think of any that would come to UCONN right now. The money just isn't there so we would need to target a different kind of coach. [/QUOTE]
