Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 2206490, member: 489"] We all know where you stand too superjohn and where I do, you and JMick start you're own little party and I will hang with the Studfellows, Nicks and others who really know most of what's going on but try to keep that inkling of optimism as a UConn fan because we believe in what's happened before. Heck I like you guys but this constant and consistent throwing him to the lions is ridiculous. I mean calling his teams "full of talented players" is not all that accurate either as they have not been all that good. If anything as I've said all along he's had trouble honing in on players who were smart on the basketball court and for that reason alone he should be questioned along with the staff for recruiting. 2 years ago they won the conference tourney and then beat a solid Colorado team but you and others dismiss this as a terrible season, no big deal? Toss it into the dumpster, every program has years like that huh? But suddenly we are above that because KO is coaching - lol. And how you can dismiss the injuries is also crazy but that's yet another story. This thread could go on and on. There's an obvious divide in the BY, those who see what's ahead can't do anything about it but prefer we once again see what KO did as a player, a coach rise from the ashes with his back to the wall with a group of kids committed to be Huskies, not the one's running because they think they are better. Have a solid season, get in the tourney and start recruiting in a positive manner and move on from the rough season. Then there's those who want to see UConn succeed but not enough to support KO through the year and instead will be on him from the first loss of next year claiming "I told ya so". Let's just wait and see. I'm not claiming he makes one side or the other happy, no prediction here as he certainly has a fight ahead. What I am claiming I prefer that he succeeds and believe in him to do so. All I can do at this point while hoping the "things he's doing wrong" which I can't control or know little about, that he understands the need to change and he gets his ten toes back in while fighting for our programs life as well as his. Nothing else I can do, but I won't berate our guy or throw him to the lions like many of you. Not only do I like and respect the man but I really do believe he can coach and is the best thing for this program moving forward. [/QUOTE]
