Tough Break for KO

Could actually be a good thing for them both if they have had enough. On the bright side, he won't have to worry about it any more and can focus perhaps on coaching these young guys.
 
The last year was rough dealing with all the issues of divorce and post-divorce nonsense but I had an excellent year at work and no one even knew I got divorced and still don't. However, inside it was an awful year and very stress

Yeah, but it will affect his focus this season which with the Boat injury and the way the season has gone is the last thing the team needs. He will be fine next season, but we're cooked this season. I hate the tourney when we're not a part of it.
 
Too bad, tough situation just in the fact it needs to be seen by everyone. Hope it works out for all parties, especially the kids. KO is tough, this will not be too much of a distraction for him although it's not going to be easy I'm sure. He has a huge family to support him - maybe one of the reasons Ray was around too!

He made millions in the NBA, so your comment is pretty stupid.

Wow.......really.....?
You guys are insufferable, it's a joke, lol.... Damn
I had to recheck if I accidentally posted in the Germanic Comedy forum again

C'mon guys, I know were 6-5 and ish is looking bleak..... but life is too short my friends

Be easy & smile a little....

I hope he finds a good G-d fearing Christian woman who is a holy terror in the bed. The best cure for what's ailing him is a new love, which I hope he is currently actively recruiting.

Bad news for Ollie. Worse news for us. I can see Ollie joining Okafor in LA next year.
 
It is easier to divide the assets of a family when there is enough for two households to live comfortably. The struggle is more likely to be accepting the failure of a relationship that once was thought by both to be forever. There are stages of emotion to process before dispassionate, business like analysis can be applied and compromise agreements reached. If there is still mutual respect it will be easier.

This is an incredibly stupid comment to make considering that he played in the NBA for 13 years....
 
Thats's an unfortunate part of life but it happens. While sad it some ways for many people it represents a nice new chapter in life. I'm sure KO has to be taking a positive from a negative. The tough part is for the kids but atleast they are older and probably could understand what was going on much easier.

Not saying it can't be weighing on him but FWIW - the papers were filed before Puerto Rico Tip-Off.

And they are 6-5. Not saying the potential divorce is the cause, but a divorce is one of the most difficult events one can experience in life.

The first thing I think about is his introductory conference when he was announced for the job, and him telling the story about how when he proposed to his wife he got turned down a bunch of times but wouldn't take no for an answer because that's what's in his DNA the same tenacity he was going to bring to the program. Any meaning there? Probably not but it got a big laugh from the crowd back then. Just wish him a quick resolution. He has a tremendous support system of friends and family and money is not a problem so he has a lot going for him.
 
looking for the silver lining here, and for me I guess its that maybe the team goes all in with Ollie easier than if this didn't happen. They know he's got their backs, but now they can have his and try to help him get over it

Gotta be annoying to be Ollie though, he's going to have dimwit chick student fanatics yelling at him whenever he's on campus now
 
sorry to hear about this. KO seems like such a family oriented guy that I never would've thought he had problems at home.

Goes to show you never really know the problems someone is dealing with in their private life.
 
Divorces are mostly bitter even when there are relatively no assets to fight over. More money tends to make it worse, not better. At least the kids are older and it won't be as bad for them nor will custody be much of an issue.

Good luck to all of them. Divorce is not easy on kids. I was happy my parents got divorced because the fighting was so bad. But they still used us in their battles during and after the divorce. They seem wiser and I hope they are.

If that's what it takes for him to get over this I say bring on the sloots
 
Some people say that even bad sex and bad pizza are good. On The Boneyard, we've debunked the latter regularly.

Even a good divorce is bad.

It's a legal proceeding, so parts of it are on the public record. It's got a high-profile party, so it's news. It directly involves the team's coach, so it's not OT.

This board has repeatedly shown respectful maturity in response to personal, institutional & societal drama, though mileage varies.

Be thankful for what you have, lend a helping hand if you have something to give, and don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it.

Peace in the new year . . .

KO is going to be quite the eligible bachelor now that's he's on the market. Young, personable, great shape, sick bank account. Times like this make you want to think about changing your sex. There are 30 yr old plus Ct. females primping as we speak.

Took only one post to either disprove or prove your premise, depending on how you look at it. In either event, here we have jibsey contemplating a s ex change operation in order to bag KO now that he is on the market:

I say you go for it. I heard transgender gold digging is a big thing now.
 
I hear he is as tough as ever in practice/games. Not a lot of happy go lucky moments. practices are less loose than last season.
 
has little to do with the lack of execution the huskies display. thats more about the roster turnover, asking guys like purvis and hamilon to be stars when they clearly aren't ready. very little familiarity on the court and its hurting badly

It's very difficult when you are married to someone who is away a great deal & then changes careers or retires & then is around a lot more. Not saying that's the cause for the divorce, but it has to make a difference. Feel bad for everyone involved...divorce isn't easy, even when it's necessary.
 
Chief has close ties to the family, and I heard that Terry Larrier chose VCU because Mrs. Ollie gave a half-hearted hug when the two met by chance on UConn's campus during Larrier's unofficial visit on August 27th, 2014. It left a sour taste in Larrier's mouth, that such a fine women gave such poor hugs. Its all cited in Chief's work - she had to go.

I'm better now, but for a second it was the image of a yellow Ferrari that clouded my thinking.

Thankful for Ignore yet again.
Though the premise as described is not without intrigue, even a tasteless joke has to be well-delivered.
