You actually have a degree from Marquette?

No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

UConn may not be looking for a new conference, but perhaps a new coach?

UConn coach Kevin Ollie is being "seriously considered" for the OKC coaching job, source close to the situation tells @SNYtv

I think Cooley's name will be thrown around if that opens.

Honest question: if UConn was in the B1G or ACC, and OKC offered Ollie its HC gig, would he be more or less likely to accept it than if (like today) UConn is in the American Conference?

I don't think that it would be any different.  He's got a well earned long leash at UConn.  Does he want to give that up for the challenge of coaching in the NBA?  Will the increase in salary be enough to make up for the job insecurity in the NBA?  How big a hassle does he find recruiting?

Uconn was his dream job. If it weren't for Calhoun he'd probably be an assistant somewhere or potentially a head coach at a low division 1 school. I don't think the conference affiliation matters at all, it's his alma mater, he won't leave just because of that...

Given their roster situation I think it would be a good time for him to move on, but I'd be surprised if he did.

Conference affiliation doesn't bother Geno.

A fair question, but is there really a better situation for a first-time NBA coach to walk into? The insecure jobs are the ones where coaches are hired either pre- or mid-rebuild and asked to win with nothing. Who wouldn't jump at the chance to coach KD and Westbrook? If he could deliver a championship to OKC he would be a GOD there.

If Ollie does bolt to the NBA, then who does UCONN get to replace him?  Assistant Karl Hobbs (who was assistant under both him and Calhoun, HC at GW)?  Assistant Glen Miller (assistant under both him and Calhoun, HC at Brown and Penn)?  Another outside candidate?
