Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 2574459, member: 1559"] This is a ridiculous question. In the fall of 2016, it looked it was possible that Ollie would go to the NBA to coach and he had managed a team through probation, won an NCAA title, and had made the NCAA Tournament in two out of the 3 years eligible. UConn won an exciting AAC tournament in 2016. His record was 97-44 and he had just signed the #8 recruiting class. I don't remember many people objecting to the new contract at the time. Unfortunately, that was the peak for Kevin Ollie. Something changed after the contract was signed and UConn's men's basketball has been in a decline since. I don't blame anybody for the Ollie contract as I would have extended him as well based on his performance through the Fall of 2016. [/QUOTE]
