    Big difference coaching kids who want a job someday and play for free compared to adults who have contracts and are now independantly wealthy.

    And P. J. Carlesimo did a damn good job at coaching Seton Hall University.

    They were on probation last year and weren't permitted in the tournament.

    From what I heard, Ollie is not going anywhere. UCONN is his home and dream job.

    But, but, but you are talking about two guys in Cal and Pitino with lil to no NBA experience as a coach or a player. It's not surprising they didn't succeed. Kevin is an ex player who has been inside and out of NBA locker rooms. I think he would be different.

    On that note. No interest in him.

    If you want a champion college coach, Geno Auriemma has 9 titles. Makes Ollie look piddling.

    Real basketball is very different than women's basketball.

    Well, mediocre man, by all means show us your nine "real" basketball championships.

    Funny, male basketball players (who should know) don't say that shit.
