Remember when Kevin Ollie was a hot name for an NBA Job?

Iirc, Louisville beat them by like 30 in the aac tournament prior to their 6 game win streak that culminated in a national title. Ollie should have struck while the iron was hot because he hasn't done shite since.

I can't believe he has a national title.

He is a great example of giving a guy time and see what he does with his own players. They weren't even that good and got hot during a down year in college basketball.

That UConn title run was some flukey shite.

UConn was the one team that Florida matched up really badly with all season because of their defensive-minded guards.

Kemba was part of a different flukey uconn title run, but coached by Calhoun.

You probably can't name one guy on ollie's championship team.

Didn't they have that Shabazz guy? The one Lebron trolled the Heat into drafting before he went back to Cleveland?

It was flukey, but they beat the #2 (Villanova), #3 (Iowa State), and #4 (Mich St) to win their region, and then beat #1 seeded Florida before knocking off a #8 seed Kentucky.

Ollie would have 3 out of 4 NCAA tournaments if not for the NCAA banning UConn for academics one year. They suck this year because their whole team is hurt (playing 6 scholarship players).

That was Jim Calhoun's title in 2011. Ollie's title was a few years later.
