Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 2759396, member: 2844"] Not JC but AD David Benedict is a db period and SH has zero backbone Heard some feedback on Sirrius FM from an analyst about the issue and while he admitted that KO should probably lose his job over his performance (I agree on that point 100%) but after being told of all the supposed offenses his take was simple- nearly every coach does those kind of things and worse. He stated the problem is the relationship with the AD and the ADs ego. He felt most programs would close their eyes to any of these supposed claims but AD David Benedict, knowing that the university won't get slapped by NCAA with these allegations, brought them to light as his basis to not pay out any monies. He said all this paled in comparative to what many had heard that JC may have been doing. I won't say I agree with that because I don't know and NOBODY here knows what went on when JC was pulling the strings. He also added that if CT was in good financial state that this would have been resolved months ago - I also agree to that. I felt that the statement from KO was heartfelt and wouldn't expect anything less from him - he is a good person I despise the bashing and anyone who celebrates anything negative about KO People wanted the change, KO didn't win enough for this program and he is gone That's it. It's done Now let's see what Coach Hurley can do to bring UConn back to an elite level - it won't be nearly as easy as some think but I really hope and pray it happens My family and I have put way too much money into the athletic department since the 60s to see the program settle into mediocrity If I happen to bump into DB at the next UConn Athletic Department function, first it won't be my choice to do so and second, if it does happen he will get an earful from me [/QUOTE]
