Message: [QUOTE="Son of Robert, post: 2071902, member: 7415"] Gentlemen, when Calhoun passed the coaching baton to KO a primary reason was that KO had the Xfactors that Calhoun sought, developed, inspired and demanded from not only himself but his players. These factors are fierce determination and toughness. No quit. Add some talent and Look Out!! I think he saw that KO's entire basketball history epitomized this. Ollie has added Ricky Moore and Kevin Freeman who were certainly successful college players whose best assets were these same Xfactors. You don't beat Duke in that Championship game without those two. Moore's will and toughness was more important to his team than the pure talent of the Duke guards was to theirs. Fact. KO is a young man with many years of coaching left. His recruiting would be phenomenal if Uconn as a program was better situated. His coaching is very good now and he's going to get better year by year. He is the best possible choice to coach Uconn basketball. So give it a rest mutts, you all don't know what you're talking about. [/QUOTE]
