[QUOTE="Deleted member 631370, post: 1376960"] Some people on here will hate me for saying it, but Bruce Weber is a better coach than Kevin Ollie. No doubt about it. Ollie coaches in a God-awful conference, and is headed for his second straight losing season. He won a national title because he inherited a loaded roster and Shabazz Napier got ridiculously hot late in the season. Lots of credit to Ollie for riding that hot hand, but the program fell apart after that. He has a ring and Weber doesn't. But compare that UConn team (which lost 6 games in AAC play) to the 37-2 Illinois team. I'd rather have a ring than a 37-win runner-up season, but having an insanely hot 3-week stretch doesn't impress me as much as the consistent dominance of that '05 team. At least Weber is probably headed to his second straight tournament with a roster full of his guys in a really good conference. UConn needs to dump Ollie right after this season. [/QUOTE]
