But...but... "But before Brooks' firing, Ollie had issued a statement through a UConn spokesman on Wednesday saying he had no "plans" to pursue other jobs."

This is the UConn board right now. If Ollie goes to the NBA they need Calhoun or that program could be FUBAR. If Billy Donovan goes to OKC the Gators could get Pitino Jr. or a real good HC.

Despite public statement, UConn's Kevin Ollie has significant interest in OKC coaching job, sources tell Yahoo. He's a top choice for Presti


Ruh-roh for the Puppies.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

If they sign Ollie, they believe they're keeping Durant.

If they sign another coach, HE GONE and they know it.

Be interesting to see who UConn is able to get.

I bet they go after Hop hard

Nope. I think they will look at Danny Hurley or Cooley before Hop.

No chance in hell they even contact Hopkins. They will either go with a guy in the UConn family or the biggest name HC they can get.

 

[Madbiker]

Fire Brooks...how dare he not win after Durant hardly played this season. What a lame excuse. I mean how important is Durant when you have Waiters. Fire him swiftly. (And hire Ollie).

 

[skurey]

Brooks is terrible. He had Durant Harden and Westbrook and look what they've accomplished.

Like Pasqualoni?

UConn FB is a 2 star program their BB program is not a 2 star program. They won't hire a Pasqualoni type BB coach as their BB program will get them a decent hire. They could become UMass post-Calipari if they hire a Coach P type BB coach.

 

[HoustonCuse]

I know, I'm more just being dumb. But seriously Hopkins would seem a pretty solid candidate for them, in all honesty. Strong NE recruiting ties, one of the hot young assistants out there, is as familiar with the Yvonne program as any outsider would be. They will face the same problem we've talked about here: the job is probably too good to put in the hands of a noob but not good enough to attract top caliber proven coaches who are already well situated. They also have a "future problem" with the whole no conference thing.

They'd hire someone with head coaching experience, and I doubt they'd hire another SU guy after P.

Would they play 2-3 zone or man?

They did get to the nba finals.

Randy E.?

 

[Cusefan0307]

Hopkins won't go to uconn. You guys are funny.

Doesn't mean he won't let them pursue him.

I recall many on here claiming once Calhoun left Uconn was going in the toilet.

I would pay Manhattan rents to be in that toilet.

You can hate UConn and thats fine. But lets not act as if we arent more in danger of going in the toilet than they are .

They have LEGITAMATE debates over whether or not they should drop football and join the Big East.

So yeah no thanks.

We may not have the rings UConn has, but that program is Ollie leaving and 1 bad coaching hire from turning into UMass post Calipari.

Legitimate debates?

LOL.

I have seen more a more serious debate over whether or not our FB team can win a NC this year.

I would say multi page threads are legitimate.
