Message: [QUOTE="Rocktheworld, post: 2654619, member: 5037"] As fans, it’s hard to see the line between a coach and a buddy gets crossed. But in hindsight, it seems that’s what was going on all along. Bazz and co. carried KO, super friendly multi-year assistant thrust in the role of leader of a top-flight program, and were happy to make him successful. Sure the team was mostly kept together through the ban year, but that could be each individual’s pride in themselves, their team mates, and/or UConn as much as or more than KO. Now I wonder a bit what the talk between retiring JC and heir apparent KO was like. I wonder if KO genuinely felt ready for his legendary role model to put him in the position he held for the last 6 years. I wonder if a feeling of being thrust in to said position had anything to do with the decline in their relationship. Probably just inventing stuff in my head though [/QUOTE]
