Message: [QUOTE="Pudge, post: 2205512, member: 364"] No hold on a minute ... RATIONAL BASIS begins with: (1.) One of the few coaches in CBB with a National Championship - brought together by great understanding of how 8 guys played roles on a Team; (2.) Jalen Adams did get far better as the year went on. If he works on his jump shot and has assorted surrounding players, his 2017-2018 will be epic. One of the best players in the conference; (3.) Larrier and Gilbert showed in less than 4 games that they had supreme talent. We can hope for full health - gosh they are 20 year olds NOT old men like you & I; (4.) Out of Whaley, Carlton, Cobb ... we should get some good play. Someone has to play inside. (4.) Vital. We all love the guy. Instead of the typical standard Connecticut curmudgeon behavior. Consider this: 2017 ended with a Thud. Change was needed. I happen to think part of the Ollie issue ... is the divorce. Going less than .500 has to make him nervous as being back on a 10 day contract. He is not safe. Chillious and Killings: We were swimming along with Blaney, Miller, Hobbs ... and that, frankly, was not moving the needle. Chillious and Killings, IMHO, is the reset we needed - boldly highlighted by a AD David Benedict that is into the Program. A Action guy. Want to know what the standard UCLA fan says at this point? I am optimistic because, unlike maybe some others, I remember the fieldhouse and the tidy white short shorts. The games against Maine ... and the big WIN against Hofstra. There is nothing this little engine in Storrs can't do. I do believe Ollie - with a CULTURAL push from the stakeholders (including our primary alums) - can get another title. Not in 2017-2018. But within a 5 year cycle. [/QUOTE]
