Message: [QUOTE="Mr. Wonderful, post: 2128888, member: 178"] With the exception of Lasan Kromah and Amida Brimah, all of the players responsible for the 2014 title were also together on a team coached by Jim Calhoun, and didn't come close to winning a title. There's two possible explanations for that: One, players need time to develop into winners. But if you accept that explanation, doesn't this current team also deserve time to mature into a winner? Two, Kevin Ollie hasn't recruited the replacement talent required to win. But wait... once Calhoun left we were relegated to a laughingstock of a conference that's easy as hell to negatively recruit against while simultaneously suffering two years of severe recruiting restrictions. Don't you think, if you accept this explanation, it's a bit silly to blame Ollie for this? Ollie has been far from perfect... And I think even he would admit that. But to say he's already proven he's bad enough that you can definitively dismiss any future chances to compete for a title? Sorry, that's ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
