Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 2582404, member: 1522"] Ollie seems like a different man since his divorce and since he lost Calhoun's recruits. Many people can't wrap their heads around how a guy who busted his balls to last a decade in the league all of a sudden got soft and hasn't put in the effort. I think the divorce changed him, I think unreal success right away changed him a ton. The guy who worked for every scrap he ever got in the NBA all of a sudden became a coaching superstar. Rumors about OKC and even LA came. He went from being the guy who we all wondered how he would handle the job and continue the legacy. turned into a full blown star almost over night. It was his program from then on and he flexed his muscle, Calhoun was no longer his mentor/confidant he was more of a crutch he had to break free from to show it was 100% his deal. Recruiting wise he dentified who he wanted but got sloppy and lazy on the legwork. Basically he had massive success sustaining what we had the first two years but once it became 100% his "baby" he was way in over his head. We've been horrible and directionless since and the evidence is all over his face and every time the team takes the court. [/QUOTE]
