Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 2206437, member: 1526"] OK, on one hand you claim you have "limited knowledge" about what you know regarding the program, yet whatever limited knowledge you have is all bad. If your knowledge is so limited, then what if some or even most of the other significant percentage of knowledge about the program that you don't have isn't necessarily all bad? Wouldn't that possibly trump your "limited knowledge"? in that case, whatever point you're trying to make about what you know about the program is largely meaningless. Also, you can't call out other posters as not knowing what's going on with the program unless and until you're willing to share whatever specific negative facts you're claiming you do know. Your credibility is suspect until such time as you're willing to share all these horrible things you know about the program. Look, there's plenty of blame to go around if all you're interested in doing is assessing blame. Ollie has made mistakes, the prior athletic administrations made mistakes, we've missed on some key recruits, we had two games at the beginning of this past season that should have been W's, we can go on and on. But we're still only three seasons removed from a NC (how many other schools can say that?), and we went to the NCAAs a year ago and lost to a clearly superior No. 1 seed in the second round, no shame in that. This past season was a total throwaway due to injuries and we still came relatively close to willing ourselves to an AAC tourney win. No shame there either, considering there were some games we only suited up six scholarship players for. Maybe we made some wrong calls about the character of the kids that have been recruited over the past few seasons. Maybe we had to settle for less due to the sanctions, who knows? If you do, enlighten us. Otherwise, Ollie has bought himself enough street cred to be given the opportunity to turn this thing around. If after another season that goes relatively injury free we still can't win games we should win, then maybe it's time to move on and recognize Ollie may not be the guy to get us there. Until then, he deserves the chance. Constant, irrational bashing of him, the program, etc., etc., etc., may be entertaining for some but it adds nothing to any intelligent discussion. [/QUOTE]
