Message: [QUOTE="Penfield, post: 2528407, member: 231"] All these guys thought Ollie was the best thing since sliced bread 4 years ago, just like most of us. If you polled them 4 years ago how many would have guessed he would have an NBA gig at this point in his career? Now they get to pile on because they have no investment in the outcome. This whole thing sucks. It's not fun for any of us, and it's even worse when you have to listen to these blowhards take shots. It's like they enjoy rubbing our faces in a mess that we didn't make. The question I would ask most of them is if they would have handled the situation any differently than the UConn administration did? When would they have pulled the plug on Ollie? As long as I have been a UConn fan I have dreaded the end of the season. I always found hope they could win the next game, whether they needed to pull off a conference tourney run to stay alive, or if it was a pointless NIT game it didn't matter to me. I dread the end of this season, not because I will miss watching UConn basketball games, but because I know this off season will be full of turmoil no matter what decisions Herbst and Benedict make. I don't want Kevin Ollie to lose his job because it will mean that he failed and I never want one of our guys to fail, but I've also accepted that it probably inevitable at this point. I also realize that it might not happen this off season, and that means even more shots from the media, and endless complaining from our fan base. [/QUOTE]
