Kevin Ollie is  good recruiter but lacks the coaching experience.  I was surprised that they handed it off to him but UConn must have been worried they would lose players if he wasn't given the position.  To counter that they made Hobbs and Miller assistant coaches to give him the experience. Who is calling the shots on the sideline?

Kevin Ollie- assistant coach at UConn (2 years); HC UConn (1.5 years) 31 wins 11 losses

[U]HC Experience[/U]
Dave Leitao- HC Northeastern, Depaul, Virginia (9 years) 143 wins 129 losses
Karl Hobbs- HC George Washington (10 yrs) 166 wins 129 losses 
Glen Miller- HC Brown and Penn (11 yrs) 138 wins 151 losses
Howie Dickenman- HC Central Connecticut (18 years)  262 wins 241 losses
Steve Pikiell- HC Stony Brook (8 years) 125 wins 144 losses  (took them to Division I)
Ted Woodward- HC Maine (9 years) 92 wins - 144 losses
* assistant coaches to Kevin Ollie

[U]No HC Experience[/U]
Andre LaFleur- assistant coach UConn (10 years); associate HC Providence (3 years)

Why wasn't LaFleur offered the position instead of Ollie?  He brought in the recruits that won the championship.

It is great that SU has Hopkins in waiting and not overlooking what he has done for the program.
