Kevin Ollie is contesting his firing

[dasher]

He says that UConn violated his constitutional rights. I sure hope this doesn't get ugly.

My guess. And it is simply that, Glen Miller.

UConn was too cheap to fire him and give him his payout, so they made up an infraction to terminate him. It is as sleazy as you'll get. Calhoun did much worse than Ollie is alleged to and UConn looked the other way.

What constitutional right did they violate? He was a terrible coach, and they fired him for that.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of $3,000,000 per year salary.

I hope this goes all the way to the Supreme Court and they’re forced to rehire him as punishment.

Lol that's classic. I didn't realize the founding fathers guaranteed the right to have a losing record every year.

Who cares if it does? Let them bury themselves with a few more recruits.

I didn't think so but wanted to make sure.

They already lost Golden. I'm sure this will help with the guy from Putnam. He's right next door to them so that should make him feel very uncomfortable.

I, for one, am rooting for a shitshow.

They fired him "for cause", not performance. He's fighting to get the salary they owe him.

this will end up costing the state of connecticut a lot more than the $10m buyout would have

Dude got done dirty 4 years removed from a National Championship. When he got the extension it was seen as a major 'win' for uconn to keep him away from the NBA. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving program/fanbase. Hope them and Pittsburgh keep having seasons like the last couple.

Guy won the luckiest title ever with Calhoun players. I wish they kept him guy is a train wreck.

Uconn tried to fire for “just cause” with apparently not great evidence of any cause; they probably hoped Ollie would take a decreased buy out and go away. Hope Uconn has some hard evidence otherwise this may get ugly. They still have to pay Hurley that fancy new deal too

Hopefully this gets real ugly and the Yukon basketball program never has the opportunity to move forward.

Kevin Ollie Charges UConn With Violating His Right To Due Process

I like it. State action. His contract is property. He's entitled to due process before that right is taken.
Pay up and walk away
