Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 2575441, member: 1609"] What system was that and tell me about all these Calhoun Players What the heck does winning with someone else players really mean . Is there a rational human being that says UConn won their first NIT in 1987 ,but did it with Perno’s players. If Ollie is fired and in three years the new coach mange’s to keep The incoming recruits Gilbert Whaley ,Carlton ,Polley together and somehow get to a ZfF will you say “ ya but he did it with Ollie’s players “ You can hate Ollie but try to be honest. Rational is a stretch. Saying he won with Calhoun players is exactly what the UConn haters have been saying for years. The reason they say that is the use it to hurt our recruiting . UConn fans who repeat that stupid mantra give aid and comfort to the enemy. Or as Uncle Joe Stalin use to call you “useful idiots” Let’s examine this team of superstars. He had two good undersized guards neither considered an NBA player. and he was the guard coach. Bazz was two emotional and confrontational to ever be a successful leader. DD was a KO recruit and in his one year under JC his numbers were non existent. The Great Giffey average 2 points a game his two full seasons under JC and was so deep in coaches doghouse a coaching change gave him a new lease on life. What he accomplished with this misfit cast plus the addition of Brimah ,Kromah ,TSam Not a blueblood in the lot . Was one if not the best coaching jobs in UConn history and I go back to Hugh Greer. First just keeping that core together under suspension, relagation to the AAC ,and awful press was an accomplishment . Fan desertion , and a short term contract that killed an entire recruiting season didn’t help. 2014 when the emotion of the Ollie hatred subsides and is reviewed by rational people could be one of the alltime great NCAA basketball stories. The story is that good It’s a modern day Hoosiers story . (2011 the team had an NBA all-star PG and a young but Uber talented bunch.) To take one once of credit from that job the coach did that year is criminal. Especially if you insist your a UConn fan. Trolls just keep trolling. [/QUOTE]
