Don't think it will happen. Ollie isn't at UConn because Warde Manuel was.

Bad title by The Courant. He could always opt out. The difference is now he doesn't have to pay a penalty.

His buyout drops to $1 million next year anyways, so even if Warde hadn't left, it would still be easy for KO to get out of his contract.

Do you get paid for clicks and replies to this post? I just don't understand why you would give this a "gotcha" headline if you didn't agree with it and aren't profiting off of any attention it gets.

Like I would never start a new topic and name it "Brimah Out for the Year" but write in the body "I haven't heard any update on Brimah in awhile, what is his outlook? I don't think he'll miss the season but I'm getting worried here"

Says the guy who's sarcasm is misinterpreted every other day.

I wouldn't say it's a gotcha headline because it's actually a factual statement. A gotcha headline would be something like "Kevin Ollie opting out of contract with Warde Manuel leaving"

"Kevin Ollie opting out of contract with Warde Manuel leaving"
WHAT NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Just Kidding!

I honestly think this is the biggest non story in the history of UConn basketball.

I doubt KO would leave but I bet he's still highly regarded and coveted outside of the BoneYard

If he wasn't, then he wouldn't be on the Boneyard either.

And the Boneyard is the cultural epicenter of the universe

Would have been nice of Amore to ask for a quote from Ollie.

 

[Husky1964]

If Ollie leaves we can hire Ed Cooley!!!!

Dom don't get out the chair that easy bro.

Do you think Warde will still be monitoring our conference situation from within Big10 borders?

 

[UChusky916]

Non-story.

Maybe we should add "(he said he won't)" to the end of the thread title, like we do when a recruit commits.

Ollie is here because of himself, UConn and J.C..

Great! Now we'll have a coach whose head mirrors the peeling ceiling at Gampel.

I believe he has a medical condition.

When asked about that clause, Olllie said: "I'm going to be coaching this team for a long time."

Actually he said a little more than that. 5 posts above yours.

 

[Jaybo]

Ward who?

 

[HooperScooper]

Non-story.

Here's the whole quote.

“I’m going to be coaching this team for a long time,” Ollie said on the possibility of him leaving the program. “Nobody is making any decisions about that. That’s not what I am trying to concentrate on. I don’t even know about that opt-out clause.”

Ollie offers fond tribute to departing Athletic Director, Daily Campus

I can't be the only one who is annoyed that we seem to discuss this every year. Most of the time completely discounting the one man's opinion who truly knows the answer to the question.
