TOS- Miller is gone

tzznandrew said:
TOS has a poster trashing KO, connecting the Purvis tweet (fake love) with him. I've seen BUHusky10 make mention of issues going to the top, and a poster talking about KO out drinking/clubbing. All of it sounds pretty freaking crazy. Hope there's nothing to it, though I bring it up partially to see if that's what others have heard or witnessed (since that poster said something about "just go out and you can't miss him).

Ollie in the club would be hilarious.

Dude is 45 years old with college aged children. If he stepped foot in a club in this state there'd be thousands of pictures out.

People need to make up better stories.

All that info is coming from one guy who is pissed his man miller got canned. He's fighting with oz and saying ridiculous things. Maybe Ollie does go to the bar--I don't really care as long as uconn wins games. All sorts of people go out on fridays.

The TOS guy seems like he is friends with/related to Miller so I wouldn't take his posts too seriously.

Yeah. He certainly seemed more up in arms, and had turned on KO quickly. I didn't give the story too much credence, but enough people here have been suggesting changes in KO after his divorce (which has always seemed silly to me) and his absolute confidence that if people went out they'd see it too.

There've just been weird whispers around here for the last few years. I've assumed it's just what happens when you underperform, and still think that's what it is. But it's been more strangely specific than it ever was with Calhoun.
 


Looks to me like everyone has spent 4 pages talking about the wrong Miller leaving

A losing season can make a lot of guys feel unloved even by themselves.

I don't think that's how you defend Miller, accusing KO of too much clubbing, who was that guy with him?

I still personally believe the coaching has gone down hill since the divorce but who knows. Maybe the players just aren't as good.
 
Ive been a member of this site for years and never knew what TOS was. Now, with all this talk, I want to know more than ever what TOS is. So, what exactly is TOS???

Or maybe you overestimate the relevancy the program has with the average 20 something club goer. For a program as diminished as ours is recently, thousands of pics of KO being out sounds a little exaggerated.

I think starting with Adams they've gotten much better talent wise and iq wise

I am a 20 something. Everyone knows who Kevin Ollie is.

He didn't even sa club, he said bar on TOS. Big difference between a bar in Glastonbury (where KO lives I believe) and a "club"

I think it's disgusting that people on any board would accuse KO of being an alcoholic. That's a low blow even for the boneyard

Edit: thousands was an exaggeration. But it would get out. certainly on the boneyard, EVERYTHING gets here.

He said bar, but in another thread there was a bit about clubs as well, and trolling for ...

Anyway, in such poor taste, but again, there was something uncomfortable in the certainty.

If you notice when things are going well about 50% of the posters disappear bc they don't care about adding anything meaningful to the discussion of the program and really don't care about the program. When something negative happens the filth comes out full force. It's vile. They spread rumors and team up to support the negative comments

If KO has a personal problem, let's hope he gets help. This has no business being on a basketball board.

You will never know the absolute truth about anything particularly if it's about human interactions.

I would be shocked if the divorce did not have impacts on KO. However what those impacts would be are impossible to discern. And even more difficult would be to prove if it has any impact on his ability to coach.

Every commentary people make about players and coaches will have filters. Too many of us have a personal investment and subjective lenses when it comes to issues and how we respond to them.
You are correct that when things are going badly or if someone has a profile that we do not like we're more likely to invent negative rumors. KO became coach during APR and CR hitting UConn. Those negative events were upsetting to fans. With each additional difficulty more and more people struggle to deal with them. So unless someone has definitive proofs of character failure, more than likely the rumor mill is gearing up as the result of people's inability to deal with bad seasons.
 
TOS...where there apparently is a small army of people with close access to the program who spout off every rumor inside the locker room onto a message board with no consequence. I don't recall anything like this under Calhoun, but maybe I wasn't paying attention.

bc to the older crowd and the crazies calhoun is god to everyone and he never struggled so when the calhoun diehards see something that can bring heat to ollie and the program now , they go with it and stir up unnecessary controversy. instead of being for the university they're only in it for themselves (not just the TOS but here)

Excessive drinking, bar hopping and juvenile behavior are recent divorcee behaviors 101.

I'm not saying that's the case, but c'mon guys. He's a human. Humans human all the time. It's not that far fetched.

With all due respect, that's exactly what your are saying
 
I feel like I've said this too many time, but I'll say it again.

For god sakes, please stop talking about Ollie drinking, alcoholism, clubbing anything. That is a serious personal attack.
