I didn't see that coming Ollie did not seem like the type of guy that would be in a mess like that. He is another coach that people wanted (I was one who considered him as a legit option for a young coach) that either hasn't done anything special or has floundered.

I would love to have him in the fold. He was well-liked during his time at OKC.
We need to start cutting these college coaches some slack. Quinn Snyder played at Duke, was an assistant at Duke, becomes coach at Mizzou, they almost get the death penalty (where oh where could he have learned it from?), becomes SAS assistant, then becomes UTA coach and clearly knows what he's doing at that job. Ollie started under Jim Calhoun, so he had no shot of doing it clean. And there's no reason to believe he can't have the same career Snyder is having.
