After winning a national title in only his second season as a head coach, UConn’s Kevin Ollie has been one of the hottest coaching commodities ever since. He has been rumored to be o the radar of a number of pro teams that were looking for a coach. He isn’t that far removed from his NBA playing days so many thought it would be a perfect marriage.
But Ollie made the wise decision and signed an extension to remain at UConn. UConn had no choice in the matter. They had to throw more money at Ollie to keep him. Wise moves all around.
Kevin Ollie has reached agreement on a $3 million annual contract extension at UConn, spurning the NBA, sources tell Yahoo Sports.
