Not only did Ollie overcome the pathetic academic penalties, and mass exodus that Calhoun left for him, but he proved beyond any doubt that he is not only a terrific coach, but a legend in his own time. Ollie used to kill STJ. He was never the go to guy on any of those Uconn teams, but was so steady, and smart.

Mullin has an incredibly high IQ for the game. Perhaps he is exactly what we need to get back to prominence.

Pros:

He's was an incredibly savvy player, and he can share that knowledge with his players
He understands the NBA game, as a former player, and GM
He's not afraid of the media in NY.

Cons:

No experience

I don't think I care anymore that he has no experience.

Not to take away form Ollie did at all, but he didn't exactly inherit a mess. He was left the core of a national championship team....kids that know what winning is.  Our kids have no clue.

There is not a player on the roster I wouldn't trade for Napier...Jordan included.

I bet Roscoe Smith feels like an idiot right about now.

True, but Ollie kept that team together last year in the face of the post-season suspension to come back this year as national champs.  We lose in the first game of the NIT and half our potential starters next year are gone. 

When he took over he lost two players to the NVA in Drummond and Lamb and lost Oriakhi and Smith to transfer, that evidently is the definition of keeping it together?

Then two seasons into that he wins a NC with the core made up of kids he did not recruit.

Meanwhile Lavin coming off a 10-8 year, interesting the same as Ollie last year, isn't even being allowed to coach next year before he is deemed a failure.

Did Lavin win a NC in his second year?  Oh, no?  Then shut up.  Your analogy has no logical connection.    The fact that two coaches in completely different circumstances both had 10-8 conference records last season means nothing.   They are nothing alike.   Nothing.   
One is a former professional basketball player who won a NC in his second year of coaching.
The other is a bimbo/doofus.   
Ollie's team rallied and won more than expected, doofus's team crumbled and ran as far away from him as they could.

Stop trolling.    Lavin is an awful coach.  That topic is no longer up for debate.   It's a given.

  There is a lot to be said by a former Husky and NBA player being successful as a College BB Coach.. Ollie earned respect from nearly everyone over his playing career and now in his Coaching Career..

It's amazing to me that UCONN pulled another NCAA  Championship out of a very good but, nor a great season, until the Tournament. Just like they did with the Kemba Walker Team a few years ago. AMAZING.

 iF any remote possibility exists for MARK jACKSON to come here now or, whenever Lavin Leaves, it should be seriously considered..

And, pls don't make any comments about him not having College Coaching experience this time. Before Lavin was hired, many talked of Mark as NORM'S replacement but, too many skoffed at his alleged lack of experience and recruiting.. NONSENSE..

Curious by those who are in favor of bringing in Mark Jackson what they believe they will get. He is not considered good at X's and O's in the Bay Area and many believe he is coaching for his job. It's been said that he does not have good relationships with members of his own staff. Don't see Jackson hitting the recruiting trail hard.

Come on now, why would Chris Mullin want to step down into this job.

But he was able to keep Boatwright and Napier and wildly over achieve with a NC in his second year. Your blind support of Lavin is costing you what little credibility you have left.

Anyone check Ollie's team's graduation record? I heard it was 8 percent. Calhoun revisited. And his players acted like thugs when they won. Blaming the NCAA for the suspension? There is no shame in that program. The rules do not apply to them? Compare that program to Bo Ryan who has a 100 % graduation rate. Thugs,  and Ollie is the new pack leader. I would not want Ollie near our program.
