Message: [QUOTE="August_West, post: 2759053, member: 1047"] This is first 1/2 a bizarre notion and second 1/2 is dumb. 1) Kevin won’t be a pariah in the coaching industry. The industry is littered with far less successful coaches who have far more dirt on them that get jobs. Come off that point. Who knows what the future holds or where he lands, but to think that he will be blackballed from basketball for what is going on is eminently laughable, Fishy said that the rest of the country outside this board doesn’t care about this story. Surely that will apply to Ollie’s future elsewhere? Or is it that they only don’t care about UConn playing hardball to save a few bucks, but totally care about Ollie fighting for his money? 2) UConn “family” . The “ UConn family went scorched earth to get rid of him after bleeding blue for 25 years. There is no upside to Kevin Ollie for doing ANYTHING to appease the UConn family . Your analogy here is like those few conservatives who say that rape victims “ should sit back and enjoy it” if it is inevitable. Kevin doesn’t give a whit about whatever your definition of “UConn family” is at this particular moment in time. Nor should he. He will again I’m sure someday. But not during this process. I’m sure he can go work for Jim Calhoun. Jim has no problem harboring rats. Kevin’s transgressions are mild in comparison. lol Just lol I’ve got nothing else. [/QUOTE]
