Some quotes from Dave Benedict

JMick said:
if he's not gone, why not announce that he's coming back? Benedict also said, again, that they will evaluate after the season

Under normal circumstances this would be my take but the investigation is the wildcard

Losing 3 players for the season had nothing to do with our record last year? Give me a break.

They lost to Northeastern and Wagner with Larrier and Gilbert to start last season. Please explain why a team with considerably more talent loses to those teams and has to go to overtime this season to beat Columbia and Monmouth at home?

Maybe AD DB realizes the athletic department is terminally ill and there is no point in another round of chemo. Why waste money on a buyout when in the end, the result will ultimately be the same. Bring KO back and let the program die a nataural death.
 
With these comments it sounds like he is coming back but I hope I’m incorrect.

If you think injuries had no impact.never mind

It's as if some people didn't observe our 4-0 start, beating OR in OR (I know I know, that's not as impressive as beating Davidson at home) and then leading MSU until AG was re-injured

Ollie pressed a reset button in May, and we started this season short handed and we couldn't afford to lose players. The whole world knows this, everyone except some UConn fans that is

Now some of those fans are calling for the AD's head too

resist resist resist

I didn't say they don't matter.

I said losing a 4ppg player from the A-10, and a true freshman PG shouldn't mean the end of your season....

He also lost to Wagner and Northeastern with a healthy roster. Can't beat Tulsa. Got hammered by a health Memphis, then lost to them at home without their leading scorer and PG. We needed OT for Columbia and Wagner. But you hold on to that 20 point loss to MSU if it makes you feel better. It's one of 8 this year that you have to reference. You pretend like the Oregon win was great enough to ignore the 35 point Arkansas beat down, or the 28 point Temple beat down.

If you can't understand that a coach is responsible for the depth on his roster, responsible for de-commitments and transfers, then that's a you problem.
 
Good Lord. I know we had injuries last year. This year, other than losing Gilbert, we have been injury free. Most teams have it much worse.

I suspect he’s back because we can’t afford to let him go. That makes me sad, because all you have to do is watch them, and see his decisions to tell that he is a pretty bad basketball coach. He still doesn’t know who his best players are and his better lineups. Still. Last game of the year and the guys played hard, but his personnel and strategy decisions doomed them.

I can only hope they find a way to move on from him. You could give him James Harden and he’d sit him on the bench.

The lights are out. Benedict wouldn’t talk to KO the night before a game, if the plan is for him to be here next year. A donor step forward for a negotiated buyout a few weeks ago - Oz did not apparently realize it until last night.

I hope you are right chief

This is playing out nicely for the boneyard. Oz vs. Chief. This sites version of Mayweather vs Pacquiao. I won't say who is Mayweather in this charade.

Also sick of the misogynist comments from some on this board. Never ask if someone is KO's dad when they voice their opinions.

I appreciate that and didn’t mean offense. I think many of us just want to know why you, Dan and the other few diehard KO supporters are so strong in your support. In light of the gross incompetence displayed by KO and staff, strong friendship or relation are the only things I can come up with.

I have my suspicions about two posters here. I think everyone else just wants KO to be successful and think that they can will it to be.

KO’s sister was defending him on Facebook earlier this year so it’s not out of the question she would show up here at some point.

At this point I think it is best to let the Ollie supporters continue to hold onto their false hope. Losing records, blowout losses, transfers, de-commits...none of it seems to faze them. They are a resilient handful, that's for sure.

I don't see gross incompetence. I see a move to improve recruiting, kids that just played their asses off for him, improvement in a number of younger players, Jalen who would be much better if he didn't have to be primary ball handler, a couple transfers that I believe were influenced by injuries -Jackson knew he would play behind Larrier, not in his dads plan MAL who knew he'd be stuck behind Gilbert for at least a year maybe 2. Then Enoch who couldn't guard a rock. Durham frim what what I heard didn't work very hard.

So no not a friend or relative jyst a longtome fan, donor and s3ason ticket holder that feels he deserves one more year with a full team to prove himself. If he fails next year he should be gone. By then the investigation should be finished and maybe we don't bankrupt the university.

BTW yoi are not the first to pose the question about being his mom or other condescending comment you just were the tipping point
 
I think Kevin is still coming back. The BOT meeting two wks ago told us that there is no extra money to spare. There will be HCKO unless an idiot is willing to come up with $10million
