[URL='https://the-boneyard.com/members/maddogrevival.8028/'][U]MadDogRevival[/U][/URL], Issues with Ollie? I have no issues with Ollie. My opinion of Ollie is that he was unqualified for the job, he was in over his head, he won with Calhoun's guys, he tanked the program through incompetence and inattention, and I don't view him as positive part of our history. You read that and you think that I need counseling? Lol again. You, I and others speak so highly of JC, yet some don't take into consideration that JC forced a lot of people into taking KO rather than open up the search for a replacement. JC's actions somehow get lost in the argument - it's the university pres or AD - actually it was JC who tied everyone's hands. I love JC and consider him the greatest college coach ever and consider him the one person who took UConn on his shoulders and carried it (sorry Geno - womens bball just can't do it) to heights any of us who have been here the last 50 years would only dream. However, UConn should have not been in the position to have only one choice for JC's successor. KO's recent performance has been bad but there is a lot more behind it beyond incompetence and inattention, things that many close their eyes, forget or don't understand - but, yes he had to go The winning with JC's guys is BS (KO was a part of those years, had a very important part in getting those kids to UConn and working with them) and if you don't consider KO as a positive part of UConn's history (minus the past 2 years), you just don't get it.
