UConn Men's Basketball Coach Kevin Ollie: The Overachiever​

This was in today's news links, but I felt it deserved its own thread. Very good read. Some nice quotes from Larry Brown and Rick Pitino.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. He hasn't overachieved yet, he's achieved. And that's pretty good.

You might want to read the article. It's about his life, not just last season.

Kid went undrafted out of college and ended up playing 13 years in the league, earning more than $20M. I'd say that, among other things, warrants the title no matter what he does as head coach here. And to that point, note the "Now comes the hard part" subtitle. No one is claiming that he has overachieved as head coach--least of all him.

Not clicking on every link doesn't make me a fool. Following up with a quick quip with a more than a hint of truth is clever, not stupid. duckk you.

You weren't a fool until you responded. Then you were a fool.

Now you are an angry fool.

As is your wont, you can't even keep your story straight in two consecutive posts. The life of a contrarian.

Ok. I'll break it down for you.

When you wrote this "He hasn't overachieved yet, he's achieved" I called it foolish.

When you wrote this "No one?" I called it doubling down on stupid.

When you wrote " duckk you." I said it was angy fool.

You know, tcf15 bet me last week that if he posted a completely positive news story, that the Boneyard would be able to turn it into a pissing match within the first 10 posts.

I lost.
