I can't stand when he gets that "constipation face."

I like Kevin Ollie...is he a perfect coach? No. Do his players play hard and disciplined for him? Absolutely.

Well, we know who it's not.

He's only been great in one postseason. He lost in the first round of the NIT last year.

So, he had one great postseason out of 2, hence he's a meh coach? This logic is baffling.

You're making some false assumptions to come up with the baffling logic. It's too early to claim he's a great postseason coach. I'm not sold on his greatness as a coach yet until I see a bigger sample size. You could've declared Mike Davis as a great postseason coach at this point in his career.

How can you leave Cronin out of the conversation?

Ollie gets the most out of his players. Brown is the best teacher of the game.

Fran?

I amazed that guy can get a recruit to sign.

He looks like some middle manager who went on a bender at some trade conference, fell asleep on the hotel floor and went right back the next morning without changing or showering.

Mick Cronin? 7th straight NCAA appearance this year.

Mike Davis never came close to sniffing a Final Four, much less winning one like Ollie.

Ollie is 14-3 in post-season play, but more importantly the dude is currently 6-0 in NCAA Tournament, granted he's only been to one tournament.

Mick is terribly underrated.

Funny that he was on the hot seat a while back--no NCAA's in 1st four seasons but righted the ship. The move from the Big East to AAC has been a boon for both he and Ollie.

He was good at Murray, too.

Mike Davis was in the championship game in his 1st season at Indiana.

However, Ollie's post season tourney record has been way way better so far even though it's a small sample. Let's see what he does this year.

UConn was impressive today. Good guards, rarely misses FTs and can bust a trey. They are gonna be a tough out for Kansas.

Ollie's teams play to their competition.....for better or worse. I love that he actually gets fired up for his team, though. We should be so lucky.
