Kevin Ollie

Job well done sir win or lose

[THam12]

Totally agree.
Really has shown how well he can coach.
I dont know if he can recruit, but we will see.

[Da Manster!]

Is this the same UCONN team that got curb stomped by your cards?!.......Christ, the Huskies have that team of destiny look!...

Who you think has been doing the recruiting?

3 times,

don't bring that up

fukk

I was just moving on

[You mad bro]

At least your team didnt lose in the first fukkin round

fukk me

[Big Bear]

Best coach.

Its bc he can relate to his players.

[EaglesPhan36]

Always nice to get a couple of defacto home games on the way too. Be interesting to see how they do post-Shabazz. Let's be honest as solid as Ollie has done with this team, they'd be a CBI or CIT team without Shabazz. Dude definitely has his Kemba Walker cape on.

Ollie was calhoun's best recruiter

[seaborneq]

Ollie has his team playing tougher than their opponents. Makes up for any lack of coaching/recruiting deficiencies, if he does indeed have any.

[Da Manster!]

Kevin Ollie is good coach and recruiter...He learned from the one of the best ever in the business in Jim Calhoun....and Calhoun didn't exactly leave the cupboard bare when he retired...

[homie1975]

Ollie has done a very nice job, but there is a long way to go before he can be called the best coach.

let's see in 5 years where they are at

Let's see how he does the next few years. Still don't think he's a great coach but I'm a hater so I may be blinded.

[cbiscuit]

Yeah so far he's pretty good. Imagine how good he will be when he discovers State of Being verbs for his post game interviews.

KO has some players already coming in pre tourney run, but now.. sky is the limit. Locked up two 5 star recruits in Danny Hamilton who is number 30 on the HS top 50 list. He just carried his team to the California DIV 2 state championship. Also Rodney Purvis, a 5 star PG/SG who transferred out of NC state. They will also be getting Sam Cassell Jr, (yes that Cassell) who is just tearing it up at Juco right now (22+ppg). Also getting a big body in Rakim Lubin who goes 6'8 250. Big boy body. UConn will be loaded with guards again, not on Bazz level, but strong none the less

[You mad bro]

go Duke!

Class act all around... extremely impressed by Ollie and what he's done. Wish him the best in the future

So who is their backcourt next year?

Why did Purvis transfer? He was getting 25 min as a freshman. NC State bringin in a top recruit at PG?

[jjgold]

Looks like UCONN is loaded

Most because of Ollie..great recruiter

[Louisvillekid1]

Its a better system for his game

Purvis was originally committed to UL for several years

[Big Bear]

hes a young black man with NBA experience...

more programs should learn from this...

ofcourse black athletes are not going to respond as well to a short white man who looks like Danny Devito...

its common sense. If you wanna be the part you gotta look the part.

[tto827]

He's the exception not the majority Big Bear. The reason he is successful is cause just from hearing the guy talk, how he leads his team, how he carries himself, you can tell he was going to be successful some way or another. Few NBA athletes can say the same thing.

[AntGualdieri1]

Heard he might go to okc durant loves him. Dont know why they would get rid of scott brooks though, maybe if they get eliminated in the first few rounds

[jjgold]

men he can go into the hood and get the killers

He is great recruiter..its why he got head job and was recommended highly by Calhoun

[georgek118]

cuz brooks is whats wrong with okc?

[InTheDrink]

good stuff right here

ollie = winner

"Kevin Ollie, he was a game-changer for us," Durant told Grantland's Bill Simmons during All-Star weekend. "He changed the whole culture, I think. He might not say it, but I think he changed the whole culture in Oklahoma City."
