Message: [QUOTE="Penfield, post: 2455632, member: 231"] Both of the guys on the podcast grew up in CT and were UConn fans. One went to UConn had has wrote a book about the 2011 championship run I believe. So they know UConn basketball, but I think it's safe to say neither watches every single game like we do. I get the knock on Ollie's offense, but if it isn't that different to what Calhoun was running, maybe it really just comes down to not having the right pieces to run an offense that relies on individual play making. Where I think they didn't give Ollie enough credit was the defense. Sure, right now our defense is putrid, but if there is one aspect Ollie has coached well these past couple years I think this is it, and I believe it will improve. We are a team that relies on defense, but because we have had so much personnel turnover it seems that every year we have to get half the guys up to speed and until that happens we struggle. [/QUOTE]
