UConn A.D. on Kevin Ollie and Potential Replacements if fired....

[Mr_Twister]

16 years as a head coach, never made the NCAAs and made the NIT once and lost in the first round.

My memory is a bit hazy but I believe he was rumored to be involved in some other unsavory personal activity when he was here that may have led to him departing before Bannon but, again, I could be completely off base.

In any case, I'm underwhelmed by those accomplishments at Green Bay and Toledo.

Your first sentence is on-the-mark and a strong argument. The rest is blowing smoke. Kowalczyk’s teams, at institutions that offer lots less than Rutgers, have been better than Rutgers over that same time period, including this year’s Toledo team. And both teams (Wisconsin - Green Bay, Toledo) were awful when he took over. And the guy recruits the Big Ten geographic footprint. We could do a lot worse, and we have in the past.

Hurley can do better than UConn, probably Maryland too, maybe L'ville?

Agree 100%.

UConn is simply not a good job compared to many other bball schools.

It also has some bad karma probably due to all the cheating Calhoun aka C-Note did to get titles. It really got left out of the conf. realignment and I cant think of another school with a more awful situation.

And yes, MD or Lville are in the tier right below the elites. Hurley is someone who could fit at either. But Lville has scandal aura for few more years.

Uconn getting killed right now. Love it.

No. Have you been?

Toledo signs Kowalczyk through 2023. This year won MAC West division title. Toledo finished a few notches above Rutgers in the Sagarin ratings.
