Message: [QUOTE="Deadrody, post: 2460366, member: 937"] What the HELL does that have to do with accepting that UConn is going to be a second tier program in the future ? Not a damn thing that I can see. Either you strive for that or you don't, but you seem to think Ollie is "good enough" to steward a second tier UConn program into the future where the goal is to get to the sweet sixteen every five years or so, IF that. Seriously - [B]FARM THAT. [/B]You strive for excellence, and even YOU apparently have concluded that Kevin Ollie is not going to get UConn there. So you stop pretending and you make a change and look for a guy that CAN. Even if they only stay a while and move on to some blue chip top 5 program, at least you raised the near-term profile of UConn back to where it was for [B]TWENTY YEARS.[/B] At that point you can start attracting more recruits and a better coach. You keep building on what you have and where you came from. Right now UConn is not doing that. They're spinning their wheels in NCAA basketball purgatory. [/QUOTE]
