While explaining how the refs screwed up by letting him burn the couch

Some day upstater will end up at NC State and he'll be home.

They will kill former coaches who took them further than the current coach and they will blame referees for everything that has ever happened.

I really wonder how you guys came to this conclusion about refs. When zls last said that, I did a search on this site, and the last time time I'd made a post about the refs on this site was a year earlier! Amazing. But hey.

It said “why would he leave a great team next year to coach that dumpster fire?”

Same thing could be said about us :(

I can also think of about $15 million reasons...

I blame Ollie for not being able to recruit better talent and develop talent. And so yeah, not enough talent no matter how you slice it.

Have you ever gotten the sense that Ollie squeezed the absolute most he could out of his players over the last 4 years? I haven't.

Yeah you've only posted about referees a billion times. It's crazy anyone remembers it.

You love to complain about holding calls :D

Evidence? Because as I said, I looked, found posts from over a year prior to that.

Your time spent here will be more enjoyable when you learn to let things go. Boneyard archives should be trashed after 30 days. No one cares that someone wanted Ollie fired before the 2014 miracle run.

I remember the time you said Diaco will be known as the best thing to ever happen to UConn.

#Fakenews if you aren't joking. I was making fun of the football board buying bucket hats before it was cool.

I am joking. But it's just as ludicrous. You have Mr. French writing "Brady fan complaining about holding calls." It's crazy. Never happened.
 
This place used to be fun. Now it has got all angry and snarky, and not in a good way. WTF happened to the boneyard I used to know? I"m thinking that you all miss SuzieQ and her calming influence. She was the lone voice that kept this place from imploding. You ran her off, and look what you ended up with. For Shame.

You're right, what did happen to SuzyQ? So few voices of reason and good humor left among us.

When your team is beyond awful for 2 years straight, people are grumpier. Better days are ahead soon.

Yes, and CaliChic on the football board. She's still patiently waiting for the triumphant return of Skip Holtz to coach the football team. Come back SuzyQ and CaliChic!

CaliChic was but an early forerunner of what was to come.

Buffalo built a real roster and they play with energy. What the hell was Ollie doing recruiting the garbage players we had the past three years....
Expand ...

I caution you ... and others ... let's not blow garbage at the Players. We can debate talent & we have. But the hardest thing to come to grips with is the KO coaching (particularly after 2014). I believe Calhoun would have somehow found a way with that set of Players to make MM.

And ... Nate Oats? Absolutely. He does look like a JC version 1990 2.0. That is classic upbeat positive hoop with defensive intensity. Beating a Big Name who was clearly not in the mood to work.
 
I agree - garbage was not a fair term at all. Just caught up in the moment last night. Watching mid majors in the tournament have multiple guys with + skills got me going. But I stand by my point that Ollie has not had a good eye for talent.
