Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 2596982, member: 2844"] Thanks for the reply He has had pieces but not very good ones. AG has been more than just a" shoulder hurts issue". TL missed last year. I don't see what best recruiting class there was - besides AG and TL the rest were hurt or projects - 2 of then Diarra and the kid from FLA didn't play. Yeah Jackson played and contributed but behind the scenes the kid was a headache to the coaching staff and his father proved to be a fruitcake. He chased away those who demanded more than they deserve. I never said Sid was going to be a savior - stating he will definitely help is a far cry from savior status. Why would things change next year? I don't know they will and neither do you but I think the new kids coming in are athletes and appear to have a basketball IQ. I don't agree that UConn needs to "clean house" to get back to a better product. I am not saying KO is a keeper by any means but neither am I seeing it as an absolute that he goes. He has been a train wreck on the recruiting front and that has hurt this program the most. Going after pipedreams and ending up with fill-ins was a terrible strategy and he may pay for that with his employment status. It is evident when you watch the kids play - every game they are out weighed, out muscled and in many cases, out skilled. A daily man vs boy situation. In person it is more evident than on TV. AD David Benedict and the BoT will decide what comes next. As a longtime season ticket holder and fan and someone who knows both JC and KO, I hate to see what has come about and will accept whatever comes down the pike. But I am not after KO's head because at the time, I did question JC's decision to do what he did and how he pushed KO at the HC job. It was/is a huge step for anyone to take over for a legend and as history has recorded, the new coach is usually a surrogate and has usually failed to follow in the foot steps. KO was given a bigger task due to the league change and program being disciplined by the NCAA. Not a full excuse but definitely had negative impacts. [/QUOTE]
