Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2507505, member: 488"] There is literally nothing he could have said that would have satisfied this board. When you're the leader of a program that has under-achieved for as long as this one has, you're going to be mocked invariably. That's just the way it goes. I don't blame fishy for making his comment, but man, it's a tough world sometimes. Anyway, for as coddled as the players will sound to an outsider reading these comments, I think he's right to take this approach. With all that has gone on, it's human nature to undermine Ollie's authority at this point. Coach K can get away with berating a struggling team, Ollie can't. Ollie's only hope is to methodically sell them on the idea that he's right and everybody else is wrong. At this stage in the game that will take some luck, but sometimes all it takes is winning a couple of games by accident and suddenly the king has his throne back. [/QUOTE]
