Uh oh.......Lakers coming calling

[Bryan Lord]

This is going to happen every year so I'm going to not worry about it til something happens. We have one of the most desirable coaches in the country, who wouldn't want him?

I can't hep but think some will use this as an excuse for why KO wasn't the right choice for the job.

Some would think that KO winning the NC in his first try and thus becoming a hot commodity is a reason he wasn't the right choice? Brilliant!

Your comment about KO being a "man of faith" combined with Kevin Durant's known and strong grounding in his own faith combined with his strong relationship with KO make, imo, this a VERY dangerous situation for UCONN. I don't want to turn this into a discussion about faith,religion or whatever; but, the involvement of that aspect of KO's life in most of what he does and how he lives combined, as I said, with his relationship with Durant; and quite possibly the types of players the Lakers want to draw to the organization(with winning championships again a big part of the agenda) make this a situation where no UCONN fan should feel comfortable or confident that he is locked in to Storrs. What could quite possibly bode well for us keeping KO(besides the already discussed commitment he has shown toward the university) is that KO and Kobe Bryant,imo, would never, ever work well together..polar opposites!

Pretty sure Ollie's relationship with Calhoun far exceeds that with Durant. JC: Mentor, father figure, and a man he owes an enormous debt to (according to Ollie).

Substitute "man of honor" for "man of faith" and I'm with you.

Faith has a great way of excusing many behaviors and actions. Joel Osteen says God wants us all to be rich. God speaks to many people in many different ways. So it seems. I'm not saying being religious makes you less credible, but I don't think it makes you more credible either.

I like Ollie's religiousness. Great for recruiting. I like him more because he's a great guy.

Or honorable. Or a good person.

But your last line is spot on. Ollie is a great person.

Based on some some of the brilliant thoughts/posts here, yes. I mean there were some agreeing with mushdick on his grammar bs, so nothing would surprise me.
