There comes a point where you need to say "It's just not working"

If it helps any, UConn basketball in its low point is still a lot better than Pitt's current basketball program.

Mick Cronin = Cincinnati coach 12 years. Assisant coach 10 years before that.
Cronin 1st 4 years:
11-19
13-19
18-14
19-16
No Final 4's, no titles

SMU
Brought back by one of the greatest Hoops minds of all time. larry brown. Lets see if it sustains.


Greg Marshall = Witchita State 10 years. Before that 8 years Head Coach at Winthrop. Before that 10 years assistant
1st 4 years at WSU (in MVC)
11-20
17-17
25-10
29-8

1 Final four

Kevin Ollie = Connecticut. 5 years head Coach. 2 years Assistant
first 4 years
20-10
32-8
20-15
25-11

1 Final 4. 1 National Title.



So I want to see all you mouth breathers here stop making SMU,WSU and Cincinatti comparisons.

They wouldnt have ANY success if you had your way. You wouldve already fired Cronin and Marshall

What point are you making with these stats. In every case the records improve every year, except for 1 of the coaches above. And I could be wrong but you decided to leave off last year's record for same coach. Why might that be?

Face it, Ollie's trend isn't headed in right direction. It's not personal, it's simple facts. The team as he constructed it isn't competitive and certainly isn't playing up to it's ability.

There should have been a drop-off after Calhoun. We're seeing it. If some think that's the conference, so be it. I think you're wrong as evidenced by SMU with a HOF coach, Cincy's consistency with a crazy but effective coach, and even WSU coming from an even lessor funded league has soared.
They've proven you can win in this league with the right mix of players and coaching. Right now UConn is missing that.
Simply put, Ollie is not there yet. Each season I am convinced he's headed in the wrong direction. Getting another Calhoun is almost impossible. Getting another Tubby Smith is more likely.

Prove me wrong KO. Please.

And the last time we beat a ranked team was? I honestly think it was in March of 2015.

But seriously how many different threads do we need that all say the same thing?

To be fair, my original post simply requested people to share what they see in the program to suggest it's headed in the right direction.

The fact no one has offered anything is telling

If you buy that, I'm happy for you. Might you be interested in a bridge that I'm looking to unload? Cheap

Banning offense

Kenpom has UConn favored in only 8 of the remaining 22 games. Ollie is going to have to find a way to coach these guys up or we’re looking at an even worse season than last year.

I'm not even sure i'd give him nice guy. I don't know him personally. Does anyone on this board?

15 wins looks like a stretch.

 

[TRest]

15 wins looks like a stretch.

If we somehow win more games now, don't the projections change as we go along? It's just a snapshot of how we have performed so far as well as how our opponents have done. Of course, it seems somewhat accurate considering how we have struggled with low majors.
