If Ollie is engaged in illegal or ethically questionable activity he should be fired. Let him sue. Only place I’ve seen anything is here and it is all very cryptic so I assume it is not real. If it is then it is better to fire him and deal with that. One thing we have learned is that the coverup just makes everything worse. And eventually it comes out.

No one has said anything about illegal activities. Details have been posted here, they're just typically removed.

Definitely more than that.

From people that post more than once a week? I find that hard to believe. I'm here a lot and I don't see many calling for his head today. Granted, I also ignore a lot of people here.

Well not today, but I've seen over half a dozen "fire him immediately" posts throughout the season.

I don’t know what the details are. Have not seen or heard anything but I find it pretty hard to imagine in this age of blogs message boards Facebook and the rest that anything he is involved with won’t be public at somenpoint

You are a fraud with your innuendos. You don't have any inside sources on UCONN. I have never seen u post anything meaningful on UCONN recruiting or team play. The only thing that u have is the same crap that you repeat a thousand times in a thousand different ways. It must be true then according to your brain.

There is limited immunity for anything posted in the chat during a live game.

All you whisperers who think you are being cool and h3tty by showing you are "in the know" actually dont know crap. and then you all share it via PM and then come back on the board making all kinds a veiled references to all these "horrors".

At this point anything short of the breaking news of Kevin Ollie eating fetuses is wildly exaggerated on this board.

And that is where you are wrong.

what exactly am I wrong about.

Is this a coverup of watergate or Russian pee tape proportions?

I expect a Jacobs column when all is said and done. Whether that's next year or further into the future

Whether someone on the board thinks the team will improve or get worse has absolutely zero effect on how the team plays.

That has nothing to do with what I said. It's simple logic. You can't have it both ways. If your position is (a) fire Ollie if the team doesn't win enough and make post-season and (b) this team will never, under any circumstances improve and win enough to make the post season, then you are effectively calling for him to be fired as of now, for the decision to be made.

The problem is not with position (a), it is with position (b). Many of us probably support position (a). But I also say that I hope and believe that this team can and will improve and win games and make believers of us.

If it is truly bad, he should write it now. It would hurt the program, but why would he hold back? He has gone after Calhoun many times.

I have no knowledge of any of that crap. All I can say is that the pre-divorce Kevin Ollie seemed to act and coach differently than the post divorce Kevin Ollie does. There were no questions about the team and locker-room culture previously. I won't speculate on the why of it.

I've never once said fire him today and I've maintained Ollie is in over his head and this team will finish the same as last year. Of course I want them to improve and become a good team that makes the tournament but I see no way that happens.

We all hope we are good, some of us just don't deny all the writing on the wall.

I'd imagine there aren't too many who are willing to be on the record while Ollie is still employed. As it should be.

It all started going to shart not long after the championship.
 
This thing where people allude to the horror show going on behind the scenes is pathetic. Give concrete information if you have it (you don't), but this "oh trust me, things are really bad" shtick that some of you have going on is tired as duck.

Every time someone comments about it, it gets deleted. Not sure what you want people to do about that.

and there you go. One season under 500 and a 7-3 start have the people ready for firing.

also multiple 20 win seasons a 7-1 NCAA tourney record and an AAC tourney championship.

if people want to quote the negative, the positive must also be included.

But there are a million excuses for KO's positives by the fire Ollie contingent. Its disingenuous at best and clueless at worst.
Expand ...

You really need to cut it out with the 7-1 tourney record stuff. The team hasn't even made the tournament in 2 of the past 3 seasons and it's not very likely UConn will make the tournament this season. If that happens, it will be one tourney appearance and one tournament win over the 4 most recent seasons. That's a far more accurate snapshot of what we are seeing in 2017-18 than using the 6 wins from 4 seasons ago when we had Shabazz who simply refused to lose.

I don't know you. I've talked to plenty of people who otherwise don't like me, but I've at least had conversations with them before.

Out of curiosity (requires only a yes or no answer) is what is allegedly going on behind the scenes more odious than some extra-curricular female companionship?

Why would that matter if you put it out there before but had it deleted by the mods?
